I found this code on the Internet, and I'm trying to use it to print a PDF document if I print the same document outside of the code that works correctly.
In this case, I see the job in the print queue, it is being processed, and the WritePrinter function returns successfully, but nothing is printed.
Can someone help me with this problem?
