HPeprint

Post by dave22 » Thu Oct 08, 2015 12:19 pm

Hi, is anyone familiar with HPeprint. I have to use this method of printing on my windows 7 laptop, because I cannot maintain a wireless connection with my printer. The wireless connects when i first turn the printer on then stops after 5 minutes
If i create a document using the web based word online, I have no problem printing wirelessly ( if i have a connection ).
So as a workaround I use the HPeprint which emails the document to the printer, using this method i never lose connection to the printer. However HPeprint will not work under Sandboxie. I get various results, the webpage will freeze, or i get a not responding message from windows, or worse still the document gets stuck , pending.
The only way then to delete the document is to stop the spooler service, go to C\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ and delete it from there
I am using SB 4.20 registered
Thanks in advance

You could try and open OpenFilePath=C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3\
But be cautious, that opens a possible security hole.

I'm testing to see what we can come up with.

Another option is to use Google Cloud Print. It doesn't need your laptop to talk to your printer directly. I use it often. It works with "cloud" enabled printers and regular, "dumb" printers connected to your laptop:

Tried that today and google cloud worked perfectly, many thanks for that suggestion

That's very kind of you, please don't go to too much trouble on my account. Sandboxie has always been to me , a unique stellar program, the odd niggle is absolutely nothing compared to the security it provides :D
If i had a printer that functioned as it was supposed to, i wouldn't need to use HPeprint in the first place.
