How can I send files straight to a printer from my c#.net app?
I also must include the margin's, trays and the stapler.
Thanks,
Trint
 
Trint,

I don't think it is that simple. Based on the type of file it is, you
would have to find out how that file is rendered to the printer. There is
no universal print mechanism for any type of file.

Is this for one type of file in particular, or any type?
 
This will be a .tiff file. And needs the margin, tray selection and
staple commands sent with it.
thanks,

Trint,

You should probably get a component that will handle all of this
yourself, as I don't think there is antything native (managed or unmanaged)
which can do this. Of course, if you already have an application that can
do this which can be automated, then I suggest you use that.

I don't have the code in place yet...I do need a component within
c#.net (vs.net 2003) that will do this...where to look is how i need
help.
thanks,
trint
 
If all else fails, you could google something like "C# printing component
tiff"
You s/b able to find a couple components that offer free evaluation
versions.
You s/b able to explain to pre-sales staff exactly what you need it to do,
and
ask them how their product can do that. If you get a prompt helpful
response,
that's a very good sign.
