好吧,这是一个简单的方法(至少在我的情况下):
(myPrintPage 继承自 System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument)
With myPrintPage
With .PrinterSettings
If .PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" Then
.PrintToFile = True
.PrintFileName = "c:\test.pdf"
End If
End With
.Print()
End With
我还没有找到一种方法来确定我选择的打印机是否要打印到文件中,因此需要对打印机名称进行测试。
除了上面,这里有一段我觉得有用的代码:
假设我的默认打印机不是 XPS Document Writer。我的代码需要自动存档一些数据,在 XPS 中打印报告,然后让用户在默认打印机上打印报告。第二步,我需要更改 myPrintPage 的 PrinterSettings。
方法如下:
'save xps results
'is the XPS printer installed?
Dim myXPSfound As Boolean = False
For Each s As String In System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
If s.Contains("XPS") Then
myXPSfound = True
Exit For
End If
Next
If myXPSfound Then
'Manual settings of the XPS printerSettings
Dim myXPSPrinterSettings As New Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
myXPSPrinterSettings.Collate = False
myXPSPrinterSettings.Copies = 1
myXPSPrinterSettings.Duplex = Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Simplex
myXPSPrinterSettings.FromPage = 0
myXPSPrinterSettings.MaximumPage = 9999
myXPSPrinterSettings.MinimumPage = 0
myXPSPrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer"
myXPSPrinterSettings.PrintRange = Drawing.Printing.PrintRange.AllPages
myXPSPrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True
myXPSPrinterSettings.ToPage = 1
myPrintPage.PrinterSettings = myXPSPrinterSettings
myPrintPage.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True
myPrintPage.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = mytargetFileName & ".xps"
Try
myPrintPage.Print()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Error Printing the XPS File")
End Try
Else
MsgBox("The Microsoft XPS Writer was no found on this computer", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Error Printing the XPS File")
End If
有时会很方便。
