LEADTOOLS Support recently had a case where a customer was using an old AS/400 machine, a dot matrix printer that is often used with COBOL or Fortran to print results. The issue they faced was that while normal standard letter paper is 8.5” x 11”, this machine printed paper at 15” x 12”.

Creating an application to print files can be difficult. Luckily, LEADTOOLS supports rasterizing and rendering various file formats via a Windows service or console application. The project below can print any of LEAD’s 150+ supported file formats.

With a global focus on optimizing paperless office systems, virtual printing solutions have never been in higher demand. A Virtual Printer is a simulated device that simulates a physical printer but instead of printing on paper, it gives access to the file in memory and processes the pages so that users can save it to file or transmit it via other means such as email or to a database. Using the LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer SDK, developers can create virtual printer solutions to host locally or on a networked server to allow multiple users to access it. With LEADTOOLS support for over 150 file formats, users can save these virtual print jobs to just about any format.
