Network printers and the PrintServer.GetPrintQueues method

- by strakastroukas

I have a feeling that the PrintServer.GetPrintQueues method does not return the network printers. If this one is true, what other choices do i have?

How to get the PrintDocumentImageableArea for a given PrintQueue without going through PrintDialog?

From MSDN (link): The type PrintDocumentImageableArea has no public constructor. Hence, the variable documentImageableArea must be declared and assigned to Nothing and only then passed to the method. This method displays a PrintDialog requiring input from the user. After the user has selected a printer, paper size, and orientation and closed the dialog, documentImageableArea points to an actual object and its properties are initialized. I have my custom print dialog and need to get the PrintDocumentImageableArea of a given PrintQueue and PrintTicket! (I need the margin's I need to apply) From what I can gather it is quite common for anything but the most basic applications to use their own custom print dialog. There must be a way to get to this information!? Any input appreciated!

C# WPF Paginator printer ignoring user's printer selection

- by Anders

I am using the following code in my project. The print dialog shows, but it always prints on the default printer regardless of the user's selection. I have read similar topics but none of them seem to use the SerializerWriterCollator. What is the problem? PrintQueue printQueue = LocalPrintServer.GetDefaultPrintQueue(); XpsDocumentWriter xpsWriter = PrintQueue.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(printQueue); SerializerWriterCollator batchPrinter = xpsWriter.CreateVisualsCollator(); var printDialog = new PrintDialog(); if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == true) { PrintTicket ticket = printDialog.PrintTicket; ticket.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape; var paginator1 = new PagePrinter(winchFlightsCount, new Size(printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth, printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight), winchFlights); var paginator2 = new PagePrinter(tugFlightCount, new Size(printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth, printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight), tugFlights); var paginator3 = new PagePrinter(selfFlightCount, new Size(printDialog.PrintableAreaWidth, printDialog.PrintableAreaHeight), selfFlights); batchPrinter.BeginBatchWrite(); for (int i = 0; i < paginator1.PageCount; i++) { batchPrinter.Write(paginator1.GetPage(i).Visual, ticket); } for (int i = 0; i < paginator2.PageCount; i++) { batchPrinter.Write(paginator2.GetPage(i).Visual, ticket); } for (int i = 0; i < paginator3.PageCount; i++) { batchPrinter.Write(paginator3.GetPage(i).Visual, ticket); } batchPrinter.EndBatchWrite(); } }

How can I invoke the dialog to set printer options manually?

- by FromTheMountain

I'm using WPF and need to let users set some print related options like printer and printer properties (e.g. papertray, landscape/portrait, duplex, etc). I'm aware of the PrintDialog class to get a PrintQueue and PrintTicket object. However I need to create I custom solution and can not show the PrintDialog. I manage to get the available PrintQueue objects and let users select a printer. I'm struggling with the printer properties. My question is: how can I show the dialog in which a user can set the printer properties for the selected PrintQueue (the dialog that is shown when a user clicks on the Properties button in the WPF PrintDialog).

WPF binding to ComboBox SelectedItem when reference not in ItemsSource.

- by juharr

I'm binding the PageMediaSize collection of a PrintQueue to the ItemSource of a ComboBox (This works fine). Then I'm binding the SelectedItem of the ComboBox to the DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize of the PrintQueue. While this will set the selected value to the DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize just fine it does not set the initially selected value of the ComboBox to the initial value of DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize This is because the DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize reference does not match any of the references in the collection. However I don't want it to compare the objects by reference, but instead by value, but PageMediaSize does not override Equals (and I have no control over it). What I'd really like to do is setup a IComparable for the ComboBox to use, but I don't see any way to do that. I've tried to use a Converter, but I would need more than the value and I couldn't figured out how to pass the collection to the ConverterProperty. Any ideas on how to handle this problem. Here's my xaml <ComboBox x:Name="PaperSizeComboBox" ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=PrintersComboBox, Path=SelectedItem, Converter={StaticResource printQueueToPageSizesConverter}}" SelectedItem="{Binding ElementName=PrintersComboBox, Path=SelectedItem.DefaultPrintTicket.PageMediaSize}" DisplayMemberPath="PageMediaSizeName" Height="22" Margin="120,76,15,0" VerticalAlignment="Top"/> And the code for the converter that gets the PageMediaSize collection public class PrintQueueToPageSizesConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { return value == null ? null : ((PrintQueue)value).GetPrintCapabilities().PageMediaSizeCapability; } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { throw new NotImplementedException(); } }

How to print WPF Grid paged?

- by Oliver Hanappi

Hi! I'm printing a WPF grid. As long as the data fits on one page, everything works fine. But sometimes the grid contains more data. Therefore I need to split the grid into multiple pages. Can anybody help me? My code looks like this (visual is the grid). var printCapabilities = printDialog.PrintQueue.GetPrintCapabilities(printDialog.PrintTicket); var size = new Size(printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.ExtentWidth, printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.ExtentHeight); visual.Measure(size); visual.Arrange(new Rect(new Point(printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginWidth, printCapabilities.PageImageableArea.OriginHeight), size)); printDialog.PrintVisual(visual, "Print ListView"); Should I try another control? I've tried WPF Toolkit DataGrid, but I couldn't manage to get it printed. I've heard something of a flow document, can this help me? Best Regards Oliver Hanappi
