Printer compatability library source code ?

Hello, Drinkwater,

Currently only the binary is available. But if you want to work deeper on the technique details, we would like to discuss with you.

Hi DrinkWater,

Printer object is written in VB.Net. It is a layer of abstraction on the System.Drawing.PrintDocument that shipped with VS 2005.

The following code shows how to control page breaks by yourself. Hope it will solve your problem.

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Printing

Dim document As New PrintDocument
Dim controller As PrintController = document.PrintController
Dim pageSettings As PageSettings = document.DefaultPageSettings

Dim printEventArgs As New PrintEventArgs
Dim printPageEventArgs As New PrintPageEventArgs(Nothing, _
pageSettings.Bounds, pageSettings.Bounds, pageSettings)

Dim g As Graphics

controller.OnStartPrint(document, printEventArgs)

g = controller.OnStartPage(document, printPageEventArgs)
g.DrawString("Page 1", SystemFonts.CaptionFont, Brushes.Black, 0, 0)
controller.OnEndPage(document, printPageEventArgs)

g = controller.OnStartPage(document, printPageEventArgs)
g.DrawString("Page 2", SystemFonts.CaptionFont, Brushes.Black, 0, 0)
controller.OnEndPage(document, printPageEventArgs)

controller.OnEndPrint(document, printEventArgs)
