Command line photo printing in Windows 7

Question

I need to print a photo (.jpg) from the command line in Windows 7. I have tried using lpr to no success, and found methods for Windows XP like the following:

Answer 1

Try via MS Paint

mspaint /pt <FILE> <PRINTER>

Works like a charme for me.

Answer 2

Did you look here?

The provided rundll32 command line looks slightly different from yours. Alternatively, the page implies that mspaint.exe has a command-line option to print.

Note that I haven't tried any of these, though...

Answer 3

Maybe reformatting the command and adding some absolute paths would help? The following worked for me:

rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_PrintTo "c:\mydir\my.bmp" "Fictional HP Printer"
