Output to a printer (C#)

This code sample uses the Printer class:

// code snippet starts

String designFile = "OrderReport.4rp";

Printer printer = new Printer();
printer.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "diablo";

//Configuring the print output:
printer.PrinterSettings.Duplex = System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Vertical;

printer.PrinterSettings.FromPage = 1;
printer.PrinterSettings.ToPage = 2;
printer.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = System.Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.SomePages;
printer.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = false;

printer.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2;

FourRpLayouter report = new FourRpLayouter(designFile, printer);

//Run the report 
report.debugLevel = 9;

// some code omitted - view full source in demo

report.runFromSerializable(data);
       
// code snippet ends

In this example:

• A printer object is defined using the Printer class.
• The PrinterSettings.PrinterName property specifies the name of the printer.
• The other PrinterSettings properties configure the print output in a series of calls.
• FourRpLayouter report = new FourRpLayouter(designFile, printer) creates the FourRpLayouter object for the specified report file that outputs to the given printer.
