Thanks for that and contrary to my last post there are three ports (just a typo). &nbsp;The API now works but only for two ports. &nbsp;I expect it is either my syntax on port name or the port itself has a problem. &nbsp;Either way I am happy to figure it out myself<br />

Cheers for the quick solution

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to address each of the three separate ports on a HP JetDirect 500X print server using the OpenPrinter API (Private Declare Function OpenPrinter Lib &quot;winspool.drv&quot; Alias &quot;OpenPrinterA&quot; (ByVal pPrinterName As String, phPrinter As Long, ByVal pDefault As Long) As Long) The phPrinter variable keeps returning 0 which indicates an unsuccessful connection. I am passing the IP address of the print server to the pPrinterName parameter. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Trouble with OpenPrinter API and HP JetDirect 500X print server

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
