printing

[Guest]

I am unable to figure out why this code does not work....it never prints
anything nor throws an exception.

PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Print));
thread.Start();
}

public void Print()
{
Printer.PrintPages(pageParameters, dlg);
}

Printer.PrintPages is static method where I do some processing before print
document is generated

then from this method I call another static method

public static void PrintImages(byte[][] images, PrintDialog dlg)
{
// printDocument is assigned to some doc generated intenally
dlg.Document = printDocument;
dlg.Document.Print();
dlg.Dispose();
}


Thanks

The printing is actually done by programmatically drawing on the Graphics
object passed by the PrintDocument's PrintPage event handler. It looks like
you're not handling it. See

for more details.
