PrintDocument

[Bobby C. Jones]

Ok, so I had a couple of minutes after lunch to play around a bit with the
System.Drawing. Printing namespace. I just wanted to print out a single line
of text. I had to work very hard to resist the urge to print out "Hello
World!" <g>

I got very excited as I pressed the button on my form and the printer
cranked up. It spit out the most beautiful blank white page that you've
ever seen. I'm going to read up and play with it some more this evening,
but does anyone see the problem off hand. Thanks!

private void printAccounts_P rintPage(object sender,
System.Drawing. Printing.PrintP ageEventArgs e)
{
printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
float yPos = 0;
float leftMargin = e.MarginBounds. Left;
float topMargin = e.MarginBounds. Top;
yPos = topMargin;
e.Graphics.Draw String("Bobby C. Jones", printFont, Brushes.Black,
leftMargin, yPos, new StringFormat()) ;
e.HasMorePages = false;
}

I've been "having fun" trying to get printing to work as well. I
highly recommend this site:

If you haven't already figured out your problem, give the following a
try. I belive your problem has to do with units, but not really sure.
(The following is kindof a mess, sorry. It's a lot of cut & paste
from a project I was working on).

private void printAccounts_P rintPage(object sender,
System.Drawing. Printing.PrintP ageEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
g.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.In ch;

// convert to inches
float leftMargin = e.MarginBounds. Left / 100F;
float rightMargin = e.MarginBounds. Right / 100F;
float topMargin = e.MarginBounds. Top / 100F;
float bottomMargin = e.MarginBounds. Bottom / 100F;
float width = e.MarginBounds. Width / 100F;
float height = e.MarginBounds. Height / 100F;
float currentPosition = topMargin;
e.HasMorePages = false;

string headerText = "Hello Bobby C. Jones";
RectangleF headerTextLayou t = new RectangleF (
leftMargin, topMargin, width, height );

float headerHeight;
StringFormat headerStringFor mat = new
StringFormat(St ringFormatFlags .LineLimit);
headerStringFor mat.Alignment = StringAlignment .Center;
headerStringFor mat.Trimming = StringTrimming. EllipsisWord;

Font printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);

headerHeight = g.MeasureString (headerText,
this.HeaderFont , headerTextLayou t.Size,
headerStringFor mat).Height;
headerTextLayou t.Height = headerHeight;

// do the actual drawing
g.FillRectangle (new SolidBrush(Colo r.AliceBlue),
headerTextLayou t);
g.DrawString(he aderText, printFont, Brushes.Black,
headerTextLayou t, headerStringFor mat);

}

Yor code works fine for me, VS2003 + HP Laserjet2200. Perhaps you should
have a look at the PrintDocument object's PrinterSetting before you call
Print( ) to see if everything is as you expect.
