How to print with custom paper size in winforms

Question

I\'m trying to print a document in my application. But on different printers i get different results. This is my code:

PaperSize paperSize = new PaperSize(\"         


        

Answer 1

setting

pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSize;

and

pd.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSize;

might not work sometimes.

The most appropriate thing is to select a custom papersize that is installed in the Printers driver or Computer then setting the properties of the following

pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ExistingPaperSize;
pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSize = ExistingPaperSize;

Like this code

    PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
    pd.PrinterSettings = printdg.PrinterSettings;
    PaperSize RequiredPaperSize = CalculatePaperSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
    bool FoundMatchingPaperSize = false;
    for (int index = 0; index < pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Count; index++)
    {
         if (pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[index].Height == RequiredPaperSize.Height && pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[index].Width == RequiredPaperSize.Width)
          {
              pd.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[index];
              pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[index];
              FoundMatchingPaperSize = true;
              break;
           }
    }


    //Method to calculate PaperSize from Centimeter to 1/100 of an inch
 /// Caclulates the paper size
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    public static System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize CalculatePaperSize(double WidthInCentimeters, 
        double HeightInCentimetres)
    {
        int Width = int.Parse( ( Math.Round ((WidthInCentimeters*0.393701) * 100, 0, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) ).ToString() );
        int Height = int.Parse( ( Math.Round ((HeightInCentimetres*0.393701) * 100, 0, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) ).ToString() );

        PaperSize NewSize = new PaperSize();
        NewSize.RawKind = (int)PaperKind.Custom;
        NewSize.Width = Width;
        NewSize.Height = Height;
        NewSize.PaperName = "Letter";

        return NewSize;

    }
