.NET PrintDialog Print To File?
Mar 12, 2012
I am using .NET (VB) Graphics to print/preview reports in a pre-defined format (like tax forms), which works just fine. I would also like to be able to have the ability to accumulate one or more different reports and save them to a file for later conversion to PDF or to use the XPS print driver to print them.
When I check the "print to file" box (for a regular laser printer or the XPS print driver), and click "Print", I do not get an Open File dialog as this article suggests I should [URL]. The operation seems to proceed normally, but I have no idea where to find the file, if in fact one is created.

The print job always prints to the windows default printer. Ticking print to file does nothing, changing the target printer does nothing, setting number of copies wanted does nothing. My code as follows:

I need to save the user's printer preferences and reload them when the user reselects the printer.I can save them using the following code.
Dim ms As MemoryStream = _printDialog.PrintQueue.GetPrintCapabilitiesAsXml
Dim xmlFileName As String = String.Format("C:{0}", PrintHelper.RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters(_printDialog.PrintQueue.FullName))
Dim outStream As FileStream = File.OpenWrite(xmlFileName)
[code]....
I now need to reload these preferences into the PrintDialog.PrintTicket but don't know how to do this.

I just completed moving my development platform from an XP machine to a Windows 7 machine. I have a very simple MyPrintDialog.ShowDialog statement that works on my XP machine, but on my Win 7 machine does nothing. The line is executed and no dialog appears and control simply passes to the next statement (no exception). I am running Win 7 professional and VS2008 targeting 2.0.

It seems that if I use .ShowDialog for a printdialog from a toolstripbutton then the dialog does not have focus, I have to click on it twice to change any options.. If I call it from a regular button or menu, it works fine...
I found that this was a confirmed bug but there was no posted workaround..

In my code I have a PrintDialog that allows the user to select a page range to print (the AllowSomePages property is set to true), but when a range is selected (ex: pages 2-3) in the dialog it still print all the pages in the document. I've been following the API documentation as well as articles/tutorials online but I still can't get it to work. Multiple copies print fine. Print to File works fine. Just the page range doesn't work.
I've tried manually setting the ToPage and FromPage members in the PrintDocument's PrinterSettings and DefaultPrinterSettings members as well as in the PrintDialog's PrinterSettings member. I've also set the MinimumPages and MaximumPages in each one with no success.
Here's some test code I've been trying to solve the problem with (...well the latest version anyway). The code is on a WinForm with one button (Button2).
Public PageCount As Integer
WithEvents Doc As New PrintDocument
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
[code].....

Is there a way to iterate through the Windows.Forms.PrintDialog.PrinterSettings?
Something along the line of:
Dim pd as New Windows.Forms.PrintDialog.
If pd.ShowDialog = Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
For Each property as ??? in pd.PrinterSettings
'Do something
End If

I'm using a 64 Bit Windows 7 system and trying to use PrintDialog. I know it doesn't work on Windows 7 unless you add this code: PrintDialog1.UseEXDialog = True. So I have added that code but then I get this error for the following code: Dim result As DialogResult = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog().
And the error: "An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in System. Windows.Forms.dll but was not handled in user code. Additional information: External component has thrown an exception."

Print Output text is misaligned. When I open the file the contents are spaced correct. To eliminate any potential issues with the current code, I created a sample Print document as illustrated in the link below and shown in the code block.

I used an older version of VB (4.0) to create a program and now want to re-create it with VB.net. A line in my program used the " ; " character to force printing to wrap
I can't do this with VB.net using the 'PrintLine' function. What function allows me to do this or how can I accomplish this?

I've wrote a program awhile ago that prints barcode labels. The old version needed the font to be installed in the fonts folder, but that made it a pain for people using the program for the first time, as the program would print the barcode label with a default font. If I load the font file directly and try and print, it just shows up with the default font, obviously not a barcode. The following doesn't seem to work:
