I'm trying to integrate a Brother QL-700 label printer into a C# application that I'm writing. I've created a console application to test the printer with and added the following code (taken from the SDK on the Brother website):
class Program
{
private const string TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY = @"c:\program files\brother bpac3 sdk\templates\";
private const string TEMPLATE_FRAME = @"NamePlate2.LBX";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string templatePath = TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY;
templatePath += TEMPLATE_FRAME;
IDocument doc = new bpac.Document();
if (doc.Open(templatePath) != false)
{
doc.GetObject("objCompany").Text = "Company";
doc.GetObject("objName").Text = "Your name here...";
doc.StartPrint("", PrintOptionConstants.bpoDefault);
doc.PrintOut(1, PrintOptionConstants.bpoDefault);
doc.EndPrint();
doc.Close();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Open() error: " + doc.ErrorCode);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
The application stops on the line where I create a new instance of bpac.Document and it throws the following error message:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: 'Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {B940C105-7F01-46FE-BF41-E040B9BDA83D} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).'
There are several other posts on Stack Overflow about this issue and I have tried some of the commonly suggested fixes:
I'm still unable to make any progress. Does anyone else have any other ideas?
