PrintDocument Settings

I have a VB.NET program that needs to print envelopes, letterhead, and
regular (default) documents from a printers that may have three trays, or
may have only one tray and must prompt the user to load an envelope or
letterhead. (I know that each must be a separate Print Document).

I have code working now that allows me to select the printer that I need
however I don't now how to set anything else - such as landscape or
envelopes.

I want to use the Windows drivers rather than writing it myself (as I have
done before) so that new printers will act correctly.

There is documentation on setting the PaperSourceKind - or PaperKind however
I can't find any examples and this is quite confusing.

If anyone has a quick example of how to do this I would greatly appreciate
it!

Thanks VERY much,

Fred

Fred,
I've never done paper tray selection but Landscape can be controlled by
implementing your own OnQueryPageSett ings handler and setting Landscape to
true on the PageSettings property of the QueryPageSettin gsEventArgs
argument. There is also a PaperSource setting for this which is probably
what you need to set.

Thanks for your answer - can you give me an example of how to use the
PaperSource setting?

I've been searching MSDN and Google and can't find a single example and I
can't get it to work (I'm a relative newby)!

Thanks very much,

Hi Guys, I would like to print out a word document using a VB .NET component. I have got VBA and VB.Net talking to each other and can pass word objects between COM and .NET. My reason for doing this is to enable myself to be able to use the PrintSettings class and all of its advanced features - Duplex on/off, Color on/off etc.

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.
