I am trying to send a report to a printer, but I need to do it directly with out any user interaction (other than a printdialog - ie. no report viewer).
This has been fine up until a recent problem with a specific printer which has highlighted a failure in the application. This printer is defaulting to a resolution of 600 x 600 (an HP 2100 laserjet) which is not good enough for the graphics from the report.
This has made me realise that even if I set the printer settings and the printing defaults for the printer (in control panel>printers), it still prints at this resolution.
If I use the Crystal Report viewer print dialog and set the resolution to 1200 x 1200, it outputs correctly.
The method I am using is this...
PrintDialog1.Document = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
PrintDialog1.ShowDialog()
report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
report.PrintToPrinter(PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.Copies, False, 1, 1)
Is there any way to make the user settings in the PrintDialog (draft mode, resolution, mono, etc) affect the printed report sent to the printer using report.printtoprinter?
Is there a better way of doing this?
Any help would be appreciated.
