PrintPreview?

[Adam Right]

Hi,

I am using .Net Framework 2.0 final, and i use .Net printing library to
print a document. I use printPreview dialog to print the document but after
preview was shown, when i press the "print" button, i cannot print the
document although there is some words on the preview. So, is there a bug in
the preview?

Thanks...

Adam,

Without seeing your code, it's impossible to say. You might have a bug
in your code.

Can you post a complete example?

Hi,

Hi,

My code is on the below,

m_PrintDocument = new PrintDocument( );
m_PrintDocument .PrintPage += new PrintPageEventH andler(
m_PrintDocument _PrintPage );
PrintPreviewDia log printPreviewDia log1 = new PrintPreviewDia log ( );
printPreviewDia log1.Document = m_PrintDocument ;
Form m_Temp = ( Form ) printPreviewDia log1;
m_Temp.WindowSt ate = FormWindowState .Maximized;
printPreviewDia log1.ShowDialog ( );

void m_PrintDocument _PrintPage( object sender, PrintPageEventA rgs e )
{
Font printFont = new Font ( "Courier" , 10 , FontStyle.Regul ar );
String myString = "Trying";
e.Graphics.Draw String( myString, printFont, Brushes.Black, 0, 0, new
StringFormat( ) );
}

The printPreview dialog does not print my document although there are words
on the document.
Thanks..

Adam,

You can post it here, and I will see it. No need to hide it from the
rest of the group.

Nicholas,

I prepared a response for Adam, telling him that he was using
PrintDocument incorrectly. Then I read the "about PrintDocument"
documentation for the .NET Framework 1.1, and found that he was
following their instructions exactly. This let to a question:

Do you know whether PrintPreviewDia log, when you choose "Print..." from
the menu, re-uses the original instance of the PrintDocument you pass
it, or instantiates a new PrintDocument for the printing process
itself?

I ask because I've always inherited from PrintDocument and overridden
OnPrintPage, rather than handling the PrintPage event of a "vanilla"
PrintDocument. The former approach has always worked for me. However,
if PrintPreviewDia log instantiates a _new_ PrintDocument instance
internally in order to print, the latter method (the method recommended
by MS in its documentation) _won't_ work.

Hi,

Is there a basic solution for this problem, i cannot understand complex
english sorry...

I have a potential solution, but it will have to wait until tomorrow,
when I will be back in the office and will have a printer with which to
test.

I want to write a little test program to discover whether my theory is
correct.

Adam,
Since you are putting the text at 0,0 on the page you may be outside the
'hard margin' of the printer and thus not printing anything. Try it again
with 100, 100 which should be 1" down and 1" right from the page edge using
the standard coordinates. Alternately you could try setting OriginAtMargins
to true for the PrintDocument (I think).

Hi Ron,

I have tried that but the printed document still is empty. I do not
understand that if there are some words on the preview, what is the reason
that it does not print that words? in Beta 2, i can print with the same
code. So i am wondering about Framework 2.0 in which there may be a bug in
print document. I do not know how can i handle that problem, because it is
very important for me and my customers. Thanks...
