RoboTask forum

Hi. I have problem with printing *.tif files with robotask. In my system *.tif files are opened by program XnView but when I want to print with robotask then the *.tif file is opened with windows built-in image preview instead of print.

is there any solution of this problem ?

RoboTask uses only default program for printing. It only uses system function for printing document and the system automatically loads registered program for this document kind.
You have to specify desired program for TIFF files in your system.
In order to do this you can right-click on desired file (in windows explorer, of course), choose "Open with" | "Choose program"

I know that. I've specified program XnView to open TIFF files and when I double-click TIFF  it's opened by Xnview. When I want print with robotask then it is opened by Windows image preview function and doesn't print

This means that XnView doesn't support shell command "Print".
I'm afraid if you want to print your TIFF in XnView you have to do standard operations:

1. Open TIFF document
2. Wait some time
3. Send some keystroke in order to get XnView to print opened document (Ctrl-P or another. See XnViev documentation)
4. Close XnView

If so, then maybe I can find another program with support of this command. Thanks

The program that solved this porblem is IrfanView and it can be done by  using command  C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe and parameter c:\file.tif/print in Run App/Open Document
