PrintDocument!

Hi

Is it possible to save the PrintDocument as file without using a printer?

Look at:
Drawing.Printin g.PrintDocument .PrinterSetting s.PrintToFile
I have no experience with PrintToFile, but it looks promising.

Hi

This is only a bool property? I have to print using a printer anyway but I
need some way to print from PrintDocument without using a printer. I have my
document in the PrintDocument Canvas and I have to access it somehow? Any
ideas.

Yes, use PrintDialog1.Al lowPrintToFile = True instead of
PrintDocument1. PrinterSettings .PrintToFile = True

Then when the user checks the Print to File box in the Printer Dialog he
will get the option to print to a file.

This is explained in the Microsoft Knowledgebase article

Hi, I have a PrintDocument that I preview in a PrintPreviewControl. Now I run the app on a pc without any printers installed and when I want to preview the PrintDocument I get an InvalidPrinterException exception saying "No Printers Installed". Is this a bug or behavior by design? Is there anything I can do about this or should I just make sure that there's a printer installed?

Hello, I'm trying to print a dataGrid using PrintDocument control. My datagrid has about 23 columns so it is fairly wide. When I use the PrintControl, it prints only the part of the dataGrid that is visible on screen. I tried using PrintPreviewDialog too but it still only shows just what is visible in the dialog that houses the dataGrid. I want to get all the datagrid printed. Maybe wrapping it would be the only way to print all of...

Hello, I have an OCX control on my WinForm (don't ask, i have to use it) and it generally works well. One of the methods of the OCX prints to an hDC (device context handle for history buffs). Seeing how everything in ..NET prints to a PrintDocument object, I was wondering how I can retrieve the hDC of the PrintDocument? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

I'm trying real hard to set the printer resolution for a PrintDocument. It appears that the printer is already set to 300 x 300 dpi, which is JUST what I want. But the Margins and PrintableArea properties of the PageSettings in the Print handler are reporting values that indicate 100 dpi, for example it reports PaperSize as 850, 1100 (8.5" x 11") I'm passing these Rectangle properties into a method that is drawing thinking it's working...

Hello, When using the VB.NET PrintDocument class, I seem to be encountering an issue where the sub pd_PrintPage handles PrintDocument.PrintPage (upon continuing if HasMorePages = true) will paint the next page on top of the original page. In a sample data case where the source is long enough to fill three pages, I end up with four calls to pd_PrintPage which render onto two printed sheets.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
