Command Line Usage

The program supports the following parameters:

file="file name" - File name of a file that contains HTML.

html="html content" - HTML text for the content of the printed document.

printername - Name of the printer to use. During the process this printer is set as the defalt printer. Unless the nopreserve switch is used then the original default printer is restored after the HTML is sent to the printer.

topmargin=x.x - A decimal number defining the top margin in inches.

bottommargin=x.x - A decimal number defining the bottom margin in inches.

header="header text" - A decimal number defining the left margin in inches.

nopreserve - Controls if the program will try to restore the original margins, header, and footer values for the Internet Explorer. Normally it will try to restore the original values. However, in a server scenario where multiple threads try to run the program simultainously it may cause some problems.

nogui - If this parameter is used then error messages are written in the Application event log instead of being shown in a message box.
