PrintDocument in .net core

Open cex-pnaik opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I want to use PrintDocument in .net core. Is there any way through which I can achieve that? I want the following implementation:

        public void Print()
        {
            PrintDocument pdPrint = null;

            using (pdPrint = new PrintDocument())
            {
                pdPrint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerName;
                pdPrint.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSize;
                pdPrint.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler((sender, e) => PrintPage(sender, e);
                pdPrint.Print();
            }
        }
        private void PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            float x, y, lineOffset;
            Font printFontA = new Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", Convert.ToSingle(11), FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Point); // Substituted to FontA Font

            StringFormat drawFormat = new StringFormat();
            drawFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;

            e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Point;

            //Specify the line spacing between lines
            lineOffset = printFontA.GetHeight(e.Graphics);

            //Specify the starting position for printing
            x = 50;
            y = 50;

            e.Graphics.DrawString("****Test****", printFontA, Brushes.Black, x, y);
        }

My aim is to do printing in Linux using 'PrintPageEventArgs', can you please suggest me a way.

The bad news is, my version doesn't support printing on linux now, although mono has linux printing support (with cups) but many code just not compatible with netstandard 1.5, I may perform a update base on netstandard 2.0 later and see if that help.

And the good news is, net core 2.1 will bring official System.Drawing, you can wait for it. https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/System.Drawing.Common/src
