Auto print without dialog

Question

I found code for printing. But I want to sent to printer automaticaly without dialog box. I know printername. I get printer name from SQL table. How can I do it ?

Answer 1

Instead of the PrintDialog class, try using the PrintDocument class directly, where you can set the printer by the name:

using System.Drawing.Printing;

PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "my printer";

To loop through the available printer names:

foreach (string s in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters) {
  //
}
