I'm trying to print labels with a dynamic content. The print works fine but the problem is that the printing itself (the font) is 90 degrees twisted. It looks like this:
But it should look like this:
I cannot change the settings of the printer because other labels do print correct. So I think it must be something in the code. You can watch the C# code here:
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings printerSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
printerSettings.PrinterName = #"\\server\printer";
printerSettings.Copies = Convert.ToInt16((Convert.ToInt16(row.Cells["Counter"].Value.ToString()) - 1));
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintController standardPrintController = new System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController();
Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();
reportProcessor.PrintController = standardPrintController;
Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource = new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = myReport;
reportProcessor.PrintReport(instanceReportSource, printerSettings);
Does anyone know such a problem or a possible solution?
Suggestion very appreciated :)
I've had the same problem once, but never used Telerik for anything. I was trying to print a XPS file with the PrintServer object, and came up with this solution to rotate the print.
Basicly I change the page orientation of the queue before I print for the user, and then change it back afterwards.
It might be usefull to you as well.
PrintServer ps = new PrintServer("\\\\somePrintServer");
var queue = ps.GetPrintQueue("printerShareName");
var oldOrientation = queue.UserPrintTicket.PageOrientation;
queue.UserPrintTicket.PageOrientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;
//print job here
queue.UserPrintTicket.PageOrientation = oldOrientation;

My project needs to print a simple string object to a printer of choice using something like the WPF System.Windows.Controls.PrintDialog.
I created a standard System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument but it does not have a DocumentPaginator that is required for the PrintDocument() method belonging to the PrintDialog class.
This seems like a trivial task to print a string to a printer with a dialog to show printer choices, but is turning out significantly more difficult. Please Help!
Since you're using WPF, instead of using the PrintDocument, just create a FlowDocument. I think that's a lot easier.
var dlg = new PrintDialog();
dlg.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages;
dlg.UserPageRangeEnabled = false;
if(dlg.ShowDialog() == true)
{
var doc = new FlowDocument();
// For normal A4&/letter pages, the defaults will print in two columns
doc.ColumnWidth = dlg.PrintableAreaWidth;
doc.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run("My arbitrary long string to print.\nNewlines work. Pages will break as needed.")));
dlg.PrintDocument(((IDocumentPaginatorSource)doc).DocumentPaginator, "Simple document");
}
I've seen many posts with regards to setting printer tray in c# for word document. I need a solution for Excel.
A better solution, if possible, for any document. Some kind of method i can pass a file path and the tray.
EDIT
So far I've tried the following but no visible changes have been made in the printer settings.
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrinterName = #"\\localhost\HP-4515n";
var dps = ps.DefaultPageSettings;
dps.PaperSource.RawKind = 260;
OR
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrinterName = #"\\localhost\HP-4515n";
PaperSource psrc = new PaperSource();
psrc.RawKind = 260;
psrc.SourceName = "unknown";
dps.PaperSource = psrc;
EDIT 2
I'm hardcoding RawKind since the tray somehow does not show in the papersources.
And currently when i print eg. Excel document i show the PrinterDialog, get the name of the selected printer and pass it to interop Excel active printer property. But now i need to print mass of documents and i need to set the selected printer and it's property specially the tray programmatically.
#sysboard, I see from the MSDN page on the PrinterSettings class that the DefaultPageSettings property does not have a set method, only a get method. I am not sure that this is accessible from external classes...You might look into the PageSettings class as it looks like it has an overloaded constructor that allows you to pass a specified printer, and it has a set method on PaperSource.
You can get the available papersources using the folowing code :
PrintDocument printDoc1 = new PrintDocument();
List<PaperSource> psList = new List<PaperSource>();
PaperSource pkSource;
for (int i = 0; i < printDoc1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources.Count; i++)
{
pkSource = printDoc1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[i];
psList.Add(pkSource);
}
Now present these options to the user and get the input as to which paper source to use, say its the first one, you can do :
PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
doc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = psList[0];
doc.Print();
Why you are hardcoding psrc.RawKind = 260;
To set a RawKind for a Paper Source there is PaperSourceKind enum available. try the following code
PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
PaperSource pSource = new PaperSource();
pSource.RawKind = (int)PaperSourceKind.Middle;
doc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = pSource;
I'm currently working on a basic drawing program. One of the requirements is to be able to save the list of drawn objects and load it back in. So far, I have written a save function that exports all items of the list to an XML format, and I'm currently working on the loading-part.
Whenever the program encounters a "< RechthoekTool >" (Dutch for RectangleTool), it executes the following code:
//Create new tool.
RechthoekTool tool = new RechthoekTool();
//Turn <Startpoint> and <Endpoint> into actual points
var sp = Regex.Replace(xn["Startpunt"].InnerText, #"[\{\}a-zA-Z=]", "").Split(',');
tool.startpunt = new Point(int.Parse(sp[0]), int.Parse(sp[1]));
var ep = Regex.Replace(xn["Eindpunt"].InnerText, #"[\{\}a-zA-Z=]", "").Split(',');
tool.eindpunt = new Point(int.Parse(ep[0]), int.Parse(ep[1]));
//Set colour and width of brush
string kleur = xn["Dikte"].InnerText;
kleur.Replace(#"Color [", "");
kleur.Replace(#"]", "");
Color c = Color.FromName(kleur);
tool.kwastkleur = c;
tool.kwast = new SolidBrush(c);
tool.dikte = int.Parse(xn["Dikte"].InnerText);
//Add to list
s.listItems.Add(tool);
Whenever I run the program, I get the 'NullReferenceException was unhandled' error("Object reference not set to an instance of an object.") at
s.listItems.Add(tool);
I do, however, instantiate the tool right at the beginning, don't I? What could be causing this error? Some Googling told me it might be because I forgot to assign a property, but as far as I can tell I've got them all covered...
Help would be greatly appreciated.
The error is due to s or s.listItems not being instantiated.
Without seeing more code, it's difficult to know which is null, but at a guess you are creating a new object for s, which contains a property/field listItems, but you aren't assigning a list to listItems.
The problem is that you aren't instantiating listItems or s. Not enough information is given to tell you how to instantiate s but you can do the other one like this:
s.listItems = new List<RechthoekTool>();
If you don't instantiate something using the new keyword; it simply won't work.
Using your code, try this:
//Create new tool.
RechthoekTool tool = new RechthoekTool();
//Turn <Startpoint> and <Endpoint> into actual points
var sp = Regex.Replace(xn["Startpunt"].InnerText, #"[\{\}a-zA-Z=]", "").Split(',');
tool.startpunt = new Point(int.Parse(sp[0]), int.Parse(sp[1]));
var ep = Regex.Replace(xn["Eindpunt"].InnerText, #"[\{\}a-zA-Z=]", "").Split(',');
tool.eindpunt = new Point(int.Parse(ep[0]), int.Parse(ep[1]));
//Set colour and width of brush
string kleur = xn["Dikte"].InnerText;
kleur.Replace(#"Color [", "");
kleur.Replace(#"]", "");
Color c = Color.FromName(kleur);
tool.kwastkleur = c;
tool.kwast = new SolidBrush(c);
tool.dikte = int.Parse(xn["Dikte"].InnerText);
List<RechthoekTool> s = new List<RechthoekTool>(); // You can now use your list.
//Add to list
s.listItems.Add(tool);
Is there a way to switch printer trays during a print job? I've been asked to put together a pick/pack slip program. They want the inventory pick slip to be printed on a sheet of colored paper, the pack slips to be on white paper, and they want it properly collated (pick, pack, pack, pack, pack; pick, pack, pack, pack, pack; ...).
I found some other threads on setting default trays, but didn't find anything on alternating trays during the job. Maybe I'm not searching on the right thing.
Don't know if it makes a difference, but our printer is an HP 3015n and the clients will be both XP and Win 7 Pro.
You can try something like this you have to reference System.Drawing.dll from the projects --> Reference--> Add
//Namespace: System.Drawing.Printing
//Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
PaperSize oPS = new PaperSize();
oPS.RawKind = (int)PaperKind.A4;
PaperSource oPSource = new PaperSource();
oPSource.RawKind = (int) PaperSourceKind.Upper;
printDoc.PrinterSettings = new PrinterSettings();
printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = sPrinterName;
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = oPS;
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = oPSource;
printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printDoc_PrintPage);
printDoc.Print();
printDoc.Dispose();
To my knowledge no - you have to submit 2 jobs on a queue that basically only you use.
You can change printer tray with this code.
string _paperSource = "TRAY 2"; // Printer Tray
string _paperName = "8x17"; // Printer paper name
//Tested code comment. The commented code was the one I tested, but when
//I was writing the post I realized that could be done with less code.
//PaperSize pSize = new PaperSize() //Tested code :)
//PaperSource pSource = new PaperSource(); //Tested code :)
/// Find selected paperSource and paperName.
foreach (PaperSource _pSource in printDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources)
{
if (_pSource.SourceName.ToUpper() == _paperSource.ToUpper())
{
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = _pSource;
//pSource = _pSource; //Tested code :)
break;
}
}
foreach (PaperSize _pSize in printDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes)
{
if (_pSize.PaperName.ToUpper() == _paperName.ToUpper())
{
printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = _pSize;
//pSize = _pSize; //Tested code :)
break;
}
}
//printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = pSize; //Tested code :)
//printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = pSource; //Tested code :)
I am creating a OO Writer document with C#.
Any help would be appreciated - I no longer know whether I am coming or going, I have tried so many variations....
using C#, has anybody successfully got the following to work? I just have a simple table of 2 columns and want to set the column widths to different values (actual value at this stage immaterial - just not identical widths).
This code is adapted from various web sources given as examples of how to do column widths. I cannot get it to work....
//For OpenOffice....
using unoidl.com.sun.star.lang;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.uno;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.bridge;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.frame;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.text;
using unoidl.com.sun.star.beans;
..............................
XTextTable odtTbl = (XTextTable) ((XMultiServiceFactory)oodt).createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextTable");
odtTbl.initialize(10, 2);
XPropertySet xPS = (XPropertySet)odtTbl;
Object xObj = xPS.getPropertyValue("TableColumnSeparators")**; // << Runtime ERROR**
TableColumnSeparator[] xSeparators = (TableColumnSeparator[])xObj;
xSeparators[0].Position = 500;
xSeparators[1].Position = 5000;
xPS.setPropertyValue("TableColumnSeparators", new uno.Any(typeof(unoidl.com.sun.star.text.XTextTable),xSeparators));
// Runtime ERROR indicates the ; at the end of the Object line, with message of IllegalArgumentException
Now this is only one type of error out of all the combinations of attempts. Not many allowed execution at all, but the above code did actually run until the error.
What is the correct code for doing this in C# please?
In addition, what is the correct C# code to set an O'Writer heading to a particular style (such as "Heading 1") so that it looks and prints like that style in the document?
Thank you.
