Just for the records: It can't be done at the moment. The command line switch "-p" is not supported in the windows version.

It exists, but it dowsn't work because it uses Linux-commands to print '| lpr'

Hi,

I tried everything to print a svg using the command line in windows. I am getting nowhere.

I use inkscapec.exe to get the output/error message, but it doesn't help. "lpr" not recognized, no way to get it done.

All I tried failed.

Is it possible? And if yes, how? What is the correct syntax?

According to http://inkscape.modevia.com/inkscape-man.html#examples

The Syntax is:

inkscape filename.svg -p '| lpr'

I am getting:

C:\Programme\Inkscape>inkscapec d:\example.svg -p '| lpr' Der Befehl "lpr'" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Meaning that lpr is not recognized. So I tried the printer name (with and without quotes):

C:\Programme\Inkscape>inkscapec d:\example.svg -p '| "Brother MFC-9420CN BR-Script3"'

Der Befehl ""Brother MFC-9420CN BR-Script3"'" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Meaning it believes that the printer name was a command. I tied it without the '' and without the pipe, I specified printer, rpr, I tried everything I can think of. Is it possible to do it? After 12 hrs of searching and trying using both inkscape and inkscapec, I need your help.

As the files are to be created under windows, the batch that prints should work under windows also, so setting up a linux vm is not an option.

Thank you for your help.
