Print to Non-Default Printer in Code

[Randy]

Is there a way to print the file from the code behind, but specify the printer to use? I know there is a default printer, but that doesn't work for me. I am using it to print labels. The label printer is rarely the default printer on client machines.

 

Thanks

Randy

Hello Randy,

Take a look at our Customize Printing SDK example either through the Samples Browser or directly on GitHub here. It demonstrates precisely the scenario that you are trying to achive.

Hope this helps.

Hello Petya,

many thanks for your example! I did a small change:

printDialog.PrintQueue = printQueue;
printDialog.MinPage = 1;
printDialog.MaxPage = (uint)document.Pages.Count;
printDialog.PrintTicket = printQueue.DefaultPrintTicket;
printDialog.PrintTicket.PageMediaSize = new PageMediaSize(PageMediaSizeName.ISODLEnvelope); 

instead of

printQueue.DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize = new PageMediaSize(PageMediaSizeName.ISODLEnvelope); printDialog.PrintQueue = printQueue;

printDialog.MinPage = 1;

printDialog.MaxPage = (uint)document.Pages.Count;

 

because you get an error if you don't have the right to change the default settings (restricted users).

 

Have a nice day!
