Print Document

Print Silently

Print documents seamlessly without displaying the print dialog. The print settings can then be done directly within the code.

:path=/static-assets/print/content-code-examples/tutorials/print-document-print-silently.cs

using IronPrint;

// Print the document
Printer.Print("newDoc.pdf");

Imports IronPrint

' Print the document
Printer.Print("newDoc.pdf")

Print With Dialog

Initiate the printing process with the print setting dialog displayed. This allows users to customize print options interactively.

:path=/static-assets/print/content-code-examples/tutorials/print-document-print-with-dialog.cs

using IronPrint;

// Show print dialog
Printer.ShowPrintDialog("newDoc.pdf");

Imports IronPrint

' Show print dialog
Printer.ShowPrintDialog("newDoc.pdf")

Apply Print Settings

Programmatically adjust print settings to meet specific requirements. This section provides the capability to fine-tune printing configurations through code.

:path=/static-assets/print/content-code-examples/tutorials/print-document-apply-print-setting.cs

using IronPrint;

// Configure print setting
PrintSettings printSettings = new PrintSettings();
printSettings.Dpi = 150;
printSettings.NumberOfCopies = 2;
printSettings.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;

// Print the document
Printer.Print("newDoc.pdf", printSettings);

Imports IronPrint

' Configure print setting
Private printSettings As New PrintSettings()
printSettings.Dpi = 150
printSettings.NumberOfCopies = 2
printSettings.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait

' Print the document
Printer.Print("newDoc.pdf", printSettings)

Get Printer Information

Get Printer Names

Access a list of all available printers. Retrieve the names of printers installed on the system for informative purposes or dynamic printer selection in your application.

:path=/static-assets/print/content-code-examples/tutorials/print-document-get-printer-names.cs

using IronPrint;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

// Retrieve printers' name
List<string> printersName = Printer.GetPrinterNames();

foreach (var printer in printersName)
{
    Console.WriteLine(printer);
}

Imports IronPrint
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic

' Retrieve printers' name
Private printersName As List(Of String) = Printer.GetPrinterNames()

For Each printer In printersName
	Console.WriteLine(printer)
Next printer
