Print to non-standard printer with header/footer

Reply Contact

I just can't get to print a TrueDBGrid to the non standard printer including headers/footers.

Does anyone have a sample on how to achieve this?

I read a post on how to print to to a non standard printer which works fine. But I can't set any headers/footers.

When I set the printername in the printinfo structure headers/footers are printed but the printername is not honoured.

So is there a chance to do both at the same time?

Can you please post the code snippet for the PrintInfo method?

Sam,

here's my code I use for printing. Everything prints ok except on the wrong printer. It's always printing on my default printer and not on the one I specified.

        Dim MyPrintername As String = "\\SERVER01\HP CLJ 3800"

        With Me.C1TrueDBGrid1.PrintInfo
            .PageSettings.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = MyPrintername
            With .PageSettings
                .Landscape = True
                .Margins.Bottom = 100 / 254
                .Margins.Top = 100 / 254
                .Margins.Left = 100 / 254
                .Margins.Right = 100 / 254
            End With

            Dim fntFont As New Font("Arial", 10)
            .PageHeaderStyle.Font = fntFont
            .PageHeader = "This is a header"

            .PageFooterStyle.Font = fntFont
            .PageFooter = "This is a footer / Page \p"

            .RepeatColumnHeaders = True
            .WrapText = C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.PrintInfo.WrapTextEnum.Wrap
            .UseGridColors = True
            .PageBreak = C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.PrintInfo.PageBreaksEnum.FitIntoArea

            .ShowProgressForm = True

            .Print()

        End With

Sam,

i have downloaded TrueDBGrid (and Preview) and this is still not working for me.

Before the TrueDBGrid.PrintInfo.Print I have checked the printer name and it was correct. But TrueDBGrid still printed on the default printer.

Does this work for you? Can you send me the code you're using?

Hi Thomas,

This seems to be a machine specific issue to me as using your code snippet itself, we are not able to replicate this issue on any of our test machines.

If we specify a printer name (other than default), then on the Print method, an exception is being raised that the specified printer could not be found. The printer's name was an invalid name so this exception was thrown.

If we specify any valid printer name then the Print is being executed on the provided printer name rather than on the default printer.

I have also attached a screenshot for the same.

Regards,

Sam Xavier
