Glossary Item Box

Sheets are printed on the current default printer in your Windows environment unless you specify otherwise. You can print sheets on any Windows-supported printer.

The print job settings that you can customize include: printer, source, and page size. Set the PrinterPaperSource, or PaperSize on the PrintInfo object.

Using Code

  1. Set various print job settings.
  2. Print the sheet.

Example

This example code sets the paper source based on a selection from a combo box and sets the paper size before printing all the sheets.

C# Copy Code
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    int i;
    System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings ps = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
    
    for (i = 0; i <= ps.PaperSources.Count - 1; i++)
    {
        comboBox1.Items.Add(ps.PaperSources[i].SourceName);
    }
    comboBox1.Text = ps.PaperSources[0].SourceName;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e
{
    FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo pi = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo();
    System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings ps = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
    pi.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("Letter", 600, 300);
    pi.PaperSource = ps.PaperSources[comboBox1.SelectedIndex];
    fpSpread1.Sheets[0].PrintInfo = pi;
    fpSpread1.PrintSheet(-1);
}
VB Copy Code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim ps As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 0 To ps.PaperSources.Count - 1
        ComboBox1.Items.Add(ps.PaperSources.Item(i).SourceName)
    Next
    ComboBox1.Text = ps.PaperSources.Item(0).SourceName
End Sub
    
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim pi As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.PrintInfo()
    Dim ps As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
    pi.PaperSize = New System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("Letter", 600, 300)
    pi.PaperSource = ps.PaperSources(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)
    FpSpread1.Sheets(0).PrintInfo = pi
    FpSpread1.PrintSheet(-1)
End Sub
