I am using win32api
python
package for printing document. I have two different folders on the basis of print type. Folder 1 for single side print and Folder 2 for double side print. That was obtained by win32api package but the problem is sequential print.
attributes['pDevMode'].Duplex
is used for setting printing mode. 1 is for single side and 2 for dobule side. which are eventually folder names.
win32api.ShellExecute(0,'print',file_path,'.','/route',0)
printing documents but not in sequence.
So I followed other SOLUTION FROM HERE. Which is giving me this error
shell.ShellExecuteEx(fmask = win32com.shell.shellcon.SEE_MASK_NOASYNC, lpVerb='print', lpFile=file_path, lpParameters=name)
NameError: name 'win32com' is not defined
Code is as follow
import win32api
import win32print
import os
import win32com.shell.shell as shell
