My program needs to print a curve; my solution is changing the curve into a picture, and this picture file (xxx.png) can be printed by using the default windows picture printing tool (right click the mouse on top of the file, and select print).

but I don't want user do this job manually, I need a command line tool to do this:

printPicture xxx.png

How can I do this in command line?

I finally found out!

use windows image and fax viewer.

rundll32    shimgvw.dll    ImageView_PrintTo /pt   xxx.png   "printer name"

---

This link had a simpler solution:

mspaint /pt [image filename]

IrfanView is able to do this. Here's a list of command line options for this application.

The following should work:

i_view32 xxx.png /print

If you want to print to a printer other than the default printer, specify the printer name:

i_view32 xxx.png /print="PrinterName"

---

rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo "c:\mydir\my.bmp" "Fictional HP Printer"

---

rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo "c:\mydir\my.bmp" "Fictional HP Printer"

This prints an image file (.png in my case) to a specified printer WITHOUT a dialog box popping up. Also... works without elevated command prompt privileges.

You can call ShellExecute from your program with print operation:

ShellExecute(NULL,"print","c:\\test.png",NULL,NULL,SW_HIDE);
