I try to print in a postscript file.
The idea is to create a PostScript file under MSW, put it with SAMBA on Linux machine and a cron will convert it later in a pdf file.
May be it is not possible ?
This next code does not work, no error, but no file "essai.ps" (MS-Vista, Python 2.4.4, wxPython 2.6.3.3 ansi) :
I do most of this all the time. The steps I use are a little different.
1. I print to an adobe generic postscript printer (does not matter what I'm
printing) - it creates a postscript file.
2. I process the postscript file with (windows) ghostscript - it creates the
PDF.
3. I then forward it to a smtp server (email) and it is sent as an
attachment.

Thank you in advance if somebody has an idea or stop me if it is not
possible ...
Friendly.

Yes, thank you, this works ...
But, the problem is this necessary to install a PostScript driver (On Vista).
So my dream was to use the capability of wxPython to create PostScript, without installing other software.
I don't know, in advance, witch station will use this functionality (To create PS files) and on witch station I need to install the driver.
If there is not other possibility, I will use your solution ...
Thanks a new time

I'm not sure about this bit of info it comes from deep within my head. But I
think reportlab creates a PS file. I don't recall much more that.
