I want to print HTML from a C# web service. The Web Browser control is overkill, and does not function well in a service-environment, nor does it function well on a system with very tight security constraints. Is there any sort of free .NET library that will support the printing of a basic HTML page? Here is the code I have so far, th...
I am working on a project right now that involves receiving a message from another application, formatting the contents of that message, and sending it to a printer. Technology of choice is C# windows service. The output could be called a report, I suppose, but a reporting engine is not necessary. A simple templating engine, like Stri...
It's the "printing question guy" again. Looking for a third-party solution to print PDFs, preferable from a service. I have seen some arguments against it, but due to our use case, this really is the preferred solution - the service will be receiving messages from a messaging bus, and there shouldn't be any sort of delay between the re...
We are using classic asp to call a C# dll and in the C# dll we are using System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters to get a list of availabe printers. If the printers are not shared they will not show up when a user trys to print. The Local System account can see and print to them from a VB6 dll and Administrators can pri...
I'm working on a web application that needs to prints silently -- that is without user involvement. What's the best way to accomplish this? It doesn't like it can be done with strictly with Javascript, nor Flash and/or AIR. The closest I've seen involves a Java applet. I can understand why it would a Bad Idea for just any website to ...
I'm attempting to use Mono to load a bitmap and print it on Linux but I'm getting an exception. Does Mono support printing on Linux? The code/exception are below: EDIT: No longer getting the exception, but I'm still curious what kind of support there is. Leaving the code for posterity or something. private void btnPrintTest_Click(ob...
What I am trying to do is change the background colour of a table cell <td> and then when a user goes to print the page, the changes are now showing. I am currently using an unobtrusive script to run the following command on a range of cells: element.style.backgroundColor = "#f00" This works on screen in IE and FF, however, when you ...
We generate web pages that should always be printed in landscape mode. Web browser print dialogs default to portrait, so for every print job the user has to manually select landscape. It's minor, but would be nice for the user if we can remove this unnecessary step. Thanks in advance to all respondents. ...
I am using the webbrowser control in winforms and discovered now that background images which I apply with css are not included in the printouts. Is there a way to make the webbrowser print the background of the displayed document too? Edit: Since I wanted to do this programatically, I opted for this solution: using Microsoft.Win32; ...
Is it possible to generate PDF Documents in an Adobe AIR application without resorting to a round trip web service for generating the PDF? I've looked at the initial Flex Reports on GoogleCode but it requires a round trip for generating the actual PDF. Given that AIR is supposed to be the Desktop end for RIAs is there a way to accomplis...
Hi, I need to print out data into a pre-printed A6 form (1/4 the size of a landsacpe A4). I do not need to print paragraphs of text, just short lines scattered about on the page. All the stuff on MSDN is about priting paragraphs of text. Thanks for any help you can give, Roberto ...
What's the easiest way to add a header and footer to a .Net PrintDocument object, either pragmatically or at design-time? Specifically I'm trying to print a 3rd party grid control (Infragistics GridEx v4.3), which takes a PrintDocument object and draws itself into it. The resulting page just contains the grid and it's contents - howeve...
I often want to printout programs so that I can read them when away from the computer, and I'm wondering what tools people use to make the code readable when printed. Today I'm using a2ps which works reasonably well, but it shouldn't be impossible to improve it. For example: index over functions etc. cross references from usage to defin...
I have an linux app that uses cups for printing, but I've noticed that if I print and then quit my app right away my printout never appears. So I assume that my app has to wait for it to actually come out of the printer before quitting, so does anyone know how to tell when it's finished printing?? I'm using libcups to print a postscript...
I'm working on som printing code that doesn't behave correctly when used against certain HP drivers. The PrintDlgEx structure will actually come back empty in some cases when a printer is selected. We can duplicate the behavior in a simple test program that has allowed us to track it back to the printer being selected (in this case a M...
I have seen examples of printing from a windows application but I have not been able to find a good example of any way of doing this. ...
Google Maps used to do this bit where when you hit the "Print" link, what would be sent to the printer wasn't exactly what you had on the screen, but rather a differently-formatted version of mostly the same information. It appears that they've largely moved away from this concept (I guess people didn't understand it) and most websites...
I'm looking for a way to find the name of the Windows default printer using unmanaged C++ (found plenty of .NET examples, but no success unmanaged). Thanks. ...
I'm working on a billing system for a utility company, and we have the following requirements: Batch-generate and print approximately 1,500 bills per day that we then mail to customers Save the bill in a format that can emailed to the customer and also archived (probably PDF) Built with .NET with MS SQL Server database back-end I'd l...
I've been trying to figure out how to print in Adobe AIR. I know the standard javascript functions don't work. The AIRforJSDev guide says: "The window.print() method is not supported within Adobe AIR 1.0. There are other methods available via the exposed AIRAPIs that give you access to printing within the runtime" But I can't find thos...
