VB.Net: Selecting a printer
From Wiki
Sometimes it can be nice to select the printer you want to print on without letting the user choose the correct one.
- Public Shared Sub SelectPrinter(ByRef PrinterSettings As PrinterSettings, ByVal PrinterName As String)
- For inttemp As Integer = 1 To System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count
- If System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item(inttemp - 1).ToString.ToUpper = PrinterName.ToUpper Then
- PrinterSettings.PrinterName = System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item(inttemp - 1).ToString
- End If
- Next
- End Sub
the above function takes the name of the printer as a parameter and also the printersettings of the object you want to use for printing or printpreviewing.
