Exception when printing: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

[mikek]

Hello,
I am trying to print a pdf document with the sample code

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

//Load file
doc.LoadFromFile("PrintWithoutPrintDialog.pdf");

//Set the print controller without printing process dialog
doc.PrintSettings.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();

//Print all pages with default printer
doc.Print();

but when it hits the doc.Print(); I get a Exception

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException occurred
HResult=0x80004005
Message=A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Hi Wade,

Thank for the response.

1.The input file.
The Input file is the same used in the provided example.
2.The system configuration. Eg, Win 7, 64 bit.
We are trying to run it on a windows 10 machine but the final system is windows 2016 server (both are 64bit).
3.The region information. Eg, China/Chinese
The region is the US.
4.Did you publish your project in Azure?
this was a stand alone console program.

if you need any more info please ask.

Thanks

Dear Mike Keers,

Thanks for your details.
I have tested the file(PrintWithoutPrintDialog.pdf) on a windows 10 machine and windows 2016 server with the latest version(Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:4.4.11), but didn't encounter any issue. If you were using an old version, please update to the latest version and try again.
In addition, the issue could be caused by the drive of the printer. I suggest that you could try other printer. Eg,“Microsoft XPS Document Writer”. and tell us result.
