Печать из командной строки windows

Print Registered File Types Files that have a file type association
in Windows (95/98/NT/2000) can be printed using the right mouse button

This association can be seen, e.g. for .rtf file in the key of a registry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\rtffile\shell\printto\command"

where the command looks something like this:

"%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE" /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"

which means :

"wordpad.exe /pt TextFileName PrinterName [ DriverName [ PortName ] ]"

(square brackets mean optional). That mean you can use this information form the registry key to call the actual app directly from cmd according to this pattern.
Or you can call it indirectly through this association from using powershell, shipped in Windows since Vista:

powershell "-Command" "& {Start-Process -FilePath  'test.txt'  -ArgumentList '\"Microsoft Print to PDF\"' -Verb 'printto' }"

Concise form of it (powershell -command "start -verb printto AnyFile.rtf PrinterName [ DriverName [ PortName ] ]") or running it from powershell prompt doesn’t work on my pc for unknown reason.

It works for almost any Registered File Types with such registered verb (printto)!

UPD: To List Installed Printers wmic printer list brief

UPD: there is also a print verb. It doesn’t accept any arguments the except file. So almost all the above is true if you replace printto with print and drop additional printer arguments.

But printer drivers will usually shows user dialog. User dialog showing can be disabled in Bullzip Pdf printer.

Is there a way to run a file through a print driver without opening the application?

Ex: run a .docx file, without opening word, and save it to file?

Since it is a .docx-file Microsoft Word is probably the best program to do the task.

I would have a look at the [command line arguments] to Word:

Have a look at the following switches:

/q, /n, /mFilePrintDefault and /mFileExit

(/q and /n explained in the page above, and /mXxxx refers to macros. Have a look att google.)

Example:

WINWORD.EXE your_document.docx /mFilePrintDefault /mFileExit /q /n

The following page seems to explain how to convert it to PDF.

What you are looking for is called «headless start» of the program which needs to print.
I know for sure that OpenOffice can do this.
Basically, you need to start it and invoke a macro which will do the printing. Even more, you can print to a PDF, HTML, or anything else that Oo supports.

This negates the need for install of Microsoft Word and the cost of license, because OpenOffice is free.

you have problems with Macro warnings;
you are able to modify the default printer to be PDF Printer or similar;
and you have the ability to add or record Macros.

Add something like this to normal.dotm:

Sub CmdPrint()
'
' CmdPrint Macro
'
'
    Application.PrintOut FileName:="", Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:= _
     wdPrintDocumentWithMarkup, Copies:=1, Pages:="", PageType:= _
     wdPrintAllPages, Collate:=True, Background:=True, PrintToFile:=False, _
     PrintZoomColumn:=0, PrintZoomRow:=0, PrintZoomPaperWidth:=0, _
     PrintZoomPaperHeight:=0
End Sub

Then call from the command line as detailed above, such as:

@echo off & setlocal
set ProjectFolder=%USERPROFILE%\Projects
set Project=MyTest
set DocType=docm
start winword "%ProjectFolder:\\=\%%Project%.%DocType%" /q /n /mCmdPrint mFileCloseOrExit

You might be interested in DocTo which will convert a word document to another file format, including pdf and XPS but does require Word on the machine.

For example

Docto -f "c:\docs\mydocument.docx" -o "c:\output" -t wdFormatPDF

Will output mydocument.docx to c:\output\mydocument.pdf as a pdf file.

The print command allows users to print a text file to a line printer, in the background.

Print is an external command that is available for the following Microsoft operating systems. Print was introduced in MS-DOS 2.0 as print.com and later was changed to print.exe in MS-DOS 5.0 and all later versions of MS-DOS and Windows.

MS-DOS 2.0 and above
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows NT
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 10
Windows 11

Print syntax

Windows Vista and later syntax.
Windows XP and earlier syntax.

Windows Vista and later syntax

PRINT [/D:device] [[drive:][path]file name[...]]

/D:device

Specifies a print device.

Windows XP and earlier syntax

print /d:device /b:size /u:ticks1 /m:ticks2 /s:ticks3 /q:size /t drive:\path\ file name /c /p

Options:

/d:device	Name of the printer device. Printer Ports: LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3. Serial Ports: COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4.
/b:size	Sets size (in bytes) of the internal buffer. Default=512 with a range of 512 to 16384.

Распечатка тестовой страницы по средствам cmd + wmic + printer.

Чтобы узнать/получить список принтеров и принтер установленный по умолчанию, в cmd выполним:

wmic printer get name,default

Получим список, где принтер по умолчанию будет отмечен значениtм TRUE в поле Default. Также мы получим название принтера которое указанно в системе.

Если требуется установить принтер по умолчанию, то в командной строке (cmd) выполним:

wmic printer where name="имя принтера" call setdefaultprinter

Далее, для печати тестовой страницы через командную строку/cmd выполняем:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /k /n "имя принтера"

На этом все.

In this post I will show you how to print a PDF document from the Windows command line, terminal or CMD using the executable PDFtoPrinter.exe.

As you know, printing a PDF from the Windows terminal is not possible using the print command (since it only prints text files), since a translator is required to read the content of the PDF and send it to the printer.

It is precisely what this utility called PDFtoPrinter.exe does, and in this post I’ll show you how to use it.

Downloading PDFtoPrinter

I can’t upload the executable here, but you can download it from where I downloaded it. Go to the following site: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/pdftoprinter.html

Then click download it here.

Remember to have that executable in the same directory where you are going to invoke it from the CMD, or if you want to invoke it from anywhere, add it to the PATH.

Basic PDFtoPrinter syntax

The syntax is:

PDFtoPrinter.exe file.pdf printer

You can also indicate number of pages and other options, for this I will leave a link to the documentation.

Print PDF from Windows command line

Note: for this example I’m going to print on a thermal printer but with this utility we can print any PDF document on any printer, even one that is letter size, legal, etc. (only that right now I only have a Thermal one)

For example, I have a ticket in PDF format and the tool:

The PDF document is as follows:

ticket

Now from the CMD I navigate to that directory and run the following command:

PDFtoPrinter.exe ticket.pdf POS-58

I am invoking the utility with the name of the document and the name of the printer (my printer is POS-58):

Note: you can specify the name of the printer in quotes if you want, and also put the name of a network printer, at the end I will leave a link to some documentation.

After a few seconds it will have printed, I say it again, in my case I printed it on a thermal printer but it works for any printer.

The result after printing a PDF document from Windows CMD is as follows:

As simple as that, you can print all the documents you want and on any printer, preserving all the details.

The advantages of this

With this utility we can print from practically any language on the server side, since we only have to invoke it from the command prompt or CMD, so that we could print in the background and silently from PHP, Python, C #, Go, among others.

Note: if you want to print a ticket to a thermal printer without using PDF see this post.

References

You can find more information about this utility here. I am not related with the page or the utility in any way, I just wanter to share it and show how it is used.

I am available for hiring if you need help! I can help you with your project or homework feel free to contact me.
