Answer: WOOF! No seriously, there's no need to boss us around. We're volunteers remember? And please use Code Tags around your code...

/Ontopic: Could it be that StandardPrintCo ntroller(); is some sort of image writer?

What's your default printer? Is it an actual printer of is it an Image Writer...You should check this in Windows.

Hi,

I didn't figure that, the nested try is very odd to me or you just posted the important area of code.

Another thing is, why do you attach - every time you try to print - the print event handler?

try
{
string fpath="some filepath";
FileStream f = new FileStream(fpath,FileMode.Open);
streamtoPrint = new StreamReader(f);
try
{
printfont=new Font("Arial",10);
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage+=new PrintPageEventHandler(this.pd_PrintPage);
pd.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
 
pd.Print();
} 
finally 
{
streamtoPrint.Close();
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
 
 
 
 
 

This is my code when coming to pd.Print() showing the dialogbox Save File As

Hi,

First, I think you should move the attach of the event handler to the Page_Load - because if it works for the first time it will not work again; the Print() method is invoked after the attach - and according to that you have to make your PrintDocument as a class field.

Now let's check MrMancunian's suggestion. Please, open a new solution (project)
and post this inside the Page_Load method. Sure you will change the filePath to an actual file path on your computer.

                Process printJob = new Process();
                printJob.StartInfo.FileName = "filePath";
                printJob.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
                printJob.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
                printJob.Start();
 

Now if the same dialog box appear then simply as MrMancunian told us change your default print to an actual printer.
