You need to set the export option for the file name. For C++, see here:

https://docu.combit.net/progref/en/index.html#!Documents/exportwithoutuserinteraction1.htm

The relevant part (adapted for PDF) :slight_smile:

 LlXSetParameter(hJob, LL_­LLX_­EXTENSIONTYPE_EXPORT, "PDF",
       "Export.File", "export.pdf");
LlXSetParameter(hJob, LL_­LLX_­EXTENSIONTYPE_EXPORT, "PDF",
       "Export.Path", "c:\\temp\\");

This needs to be called before starting to print.

Depending on the printer driver, you might be able to do this via LL_PRNOPTSTR_PRINTDST_FILENAME, see the sample at LlPrintSetOptionString. Make sure to call LlPrintSetOptionString after starting the print but before the first LlPrint().

LlSetOption(m_hLLJob, LL_OPTION_HELPAVAILABLE, 0);

if ( strPrinterName.GetLength() )
{
	LlSetPrinterInPrinterFile(m_hLLJob, (LabelReport ?
					LL_PROJECT_LABEL : LL_PROJECT_LIST),
					strReportFile, -1, strPrinterName, 0);
}

nRet = LlPrintWithBoxStart(m_hLLJob, (LabelReport ?
					LL_PROJECT_LABEL : LL_PROJECT_LIST), strReportFile,
					LL_PRINT_NORMAL, LL_BOXTYPE_STDABORT, hWnd, strName);

if ( nRet != 0 )
{
	ProcessError(nRet, _T("TEST"));
	return(FALSE);
}

LlPrintSetOptionString(m_hLLJob, LL_PRNOPTSTR_PRINTDST_FILENAME, strName); /added this but not working 

if ( nCopies )
	LlPrintSetOption(m_hLLJob, LL_PRNOPT_COPIES, nCopies);

if ( nStartPage > 0 )
	LlPrintSetOption(m_hLLJob, LL_PRNOPT_FIRSTPAGE, nStartPage);

if ( nStopPage > 0 )
	LlPrintSetOption(m_hLLJob, LL_PRNOPT_LASTPAGE, nStopPage);

Please check this code not working as expected

As I said, this might depend on the printer driver. You might be better of creating a support request where we can safely exchange log files and diagnostic information.
