Printer settings not valid

[jgittelson]

Hello,

My code:

Code: Select all

Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument doc = new Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument();

doc.LoadFromFile(fileName);
doc.PrinterName = @"\xxxx\DYMO LabelWriter 4XL";
doc.PrintDocument.Print();


I am getting an exception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Drawing.Printing.InvalidPrinterException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll
Additional information: Settings to access printer '\xxxx\DYMO LabelWriter 4XL' are not valid.

I have verified the PDF file is valid.

What do I need to change for this to work?

Hello,

It is likely that the permission to printer is missing. Can you print to that printer using any other ways?

Thanks,

Gary,

I tried your suggestion and it did not help. I spent some more time googling this issue, and after trying many things, which did not work either, I noticed the typo in the code below.

Code: Select all

doc.PrinterName = "\\xxxx\\DYMO LabelWriter 4XL";

It should read as below:

Code: Select all

doc.PrinterName = "\\\\xxxx\\DYMO LabelWriter 4XL";

Thank you for trying to help, and sorry but this was a problem on my end.

i know this is an old post but i am having the same issue. However, our printer is not configured \\print_server\printer_name it is configured \\printer_ip_address. would this still work for the PdfSettings.PrinterName setting. The following is the code i am using from the example on your site.

PdfDocument pdfdocument = new PdfDocument();
pdfdocument.LoadFromFile(sPdfFile);
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.PrinterName = printername;
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.Copies = 1;
pdfdocument.Print();
pdfdocument.Dispose();

Hi Jason,

Yes, specifying the printer by IP address is also supported. Below code is for your reference. If there is any question, please feel free to contact us.

Code: Select all

// pdf.PrintSettings.PrinterName = @"\\printer_ip_address\printer_name";
pdf.PrintSettings.PrinterName = @"\\192.168.1.104\HP LaserJet P1007";
