How to print a document file to a network printer in c#

Question

Please share your ideas to this query ASAP. I need to send files (txt, docs etc) over network using printer driver. I'm able to send raw data to server. but not files. I had already tried to Ehsan's Method to print, but the data inside the document doesn't seems to appear in the document. What i need is a method, or cmd line to print a file over network.

Thanks in advance.!

Answer 1

First, could you please give me a clue which type of file you want to print if it is a text file. it's quite simple you drag two component from the tool box first the printDocument and a printDialog panel and use this link

which is a reference for printDocument and then just simply do this for printing your document prindDialog1.document = yourprintDocument;

And everything will go fine.

but if you want to print something like pdf files you should use a pdfWriter in order to invoke the adobePdf process and print via that.

And the other option is using the PrintPage event of printDocument component which will fire on every page and by using the Graphic library you can Draw everything on each page!

Answer 2

I suppose, if your printer was detect in your computer, you can use the PrinterSettings 's class for send your file to your printer... please read msdn documentation for printerSettings

But, when you said "network" is a local network? other network?
