Hi all, upon discovering (to my horror) that Win32::Printer::Direct does not respect the configuration set in the Printers and Faxes dialogue (such as the source and output tray), I proceeded to look at using Win32::Printer do do the job.

The method that seems most promising is the Inject method, which appears to let you inject raw postscript data into the job. I would like to inject contents of the file I have so that it's data is the only thing that gets sent to the printer.

No matter what I have tried though, the page comes out blank.

Has anyone managed to use Win32::Printer to print a postscript file loaded from disk? I need to either specify the source and output tray, *or* have the current settings in the Printer and Faxes dialogue respected. I also don't want to have to share the printers as this would be politically incorrect where I work.

Examples would be very, *very* welcome.

Regards, Paul
