Okay, this is a VERY long shot, but it's worth a try: Is there a tool that runs as a Windows Service, regularly checks a POP3 e-Mail account and for every mail, prints out the attachments (PDF or XPS)?

There isn't a service I'm aware of however you could so something to an email client. Here are two solutions for Outlook.

You can write one using the samples on Code Project, and manage the printing of documents using the API according to each MIME type.

Well, that's how I'd do it.

  • There's a simpler way to do it, using a system namespac in VB08. I'm a bit fuzzy now but it could be done.

  • Problem is that I'm a .net Developer, and there is no supported way to print from a .net Windows Service (neither System.Printing now System.Drawing.Printed are supported), so I would have to use P/Invoke around the native Win32 GDI API, and that's not as much fun as it may sound :( Jan 7, 2010 at 10:03
  • Yup, not fun at all. Good luck with that.
