print document cannot print specific paper from multiple pages c#

I am facing a problem to print using print document C#. When I am going to print and input 1 to 3 pages from 9 pages using printer setting and then command for print, this command cannot print 1 to 3 pages, this command print by default all documents. How can I fix this?
This is the code:
private void PrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripButton b = new ToolStripButton();
b.Text = "print";
((ToolStrip)(printPreviewDialog1.Controls[1])).Items.RemoveAt(0);
((ToolStrip)(printPreviewDialog1.Controls[1])).Items.Insert(0, b);
((ToolStripButton)((ToolStrip)printPreviewDialog1.Controls[1]).Items[0]).Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button2_Click);
printPreviewDialog1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
if (printPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
printPreviewDialog1.Show();
}
}
private void Print_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrintDialog p1 = new PrintDialog();
p1.AllowSelection = true;
p1.AllowSomePages = true;
if (p1.ShowDialog ()== DialogResult.OK)
{
printDocument1.Print();
}
}

Select Printer after Previewing the document

I'm using the PrintPreviewDialog. Works great, but I really need to allow the user to select a printer instead of just having the print go directly to the default printer.
Try to use the PrintDialog class, for example in the next manner:
<Button Width="200" Click="InvokePrint">Invoke PrintDialog</Button>
private void InvokePrint(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// Create the print dialog object and set options
PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();
pDialog.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages;
pDialog.UserPageRangeEnabled = true;
// Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
Nullable<Boolean> print = pDialog.ShowDialog();
if (print == true)
{
XpsDocument xpsDocument = new XpsDocument("C:\\FixedDocumentSequence.xps", FileAccess.ReadWrite);
FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocSeq = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
pDialog.PrintDocument(fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator, "Test print job");
}
}

Print a png file however can't seem to print

Good day! I was trying to print a png file using a Picturebox as my button.
However, I can't seem to print. Could you please help me? or Give me a link that will guide me on how to print on a default printer using C# VS 2010
private void pictureBox2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument())
{
using (PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog())
{
if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Yes)
{
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);
pd.Print();
}
}
}
}
private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Image img = Image.FromFile(#"C:\Coke\res10.png");
e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 0,0);
}
Found a solution for this.
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += (sender, args) =>
{
Image i = Image.FromFile("C://tesimage.PNG");
args.Graphics.DrawImage(i, args.PageBounds);
};
pd.Print();
This is a simple one, but easy to miss..
You are doing just about everything right. Just one tiny thing is not 'OK':
You need to change
if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Yes)
to
if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
It is not a question, after all, so it shows 'OK' and 'Cancel' not 'Yes' and 'No'.

Show a user print preview and execute code if he printed

I have a bitmap I want the user to see before he prints it. So I open for him print preview, if the user decides to print I want to execute some code.
The problem is, printPreviewDialog will not return an answer. This may be because it has only a print button and close button, but no print-and-close so I can know the user decided to print.
If you have a solution for that I'll be happy, if you think it's not the best way to do so please tell me.
code:
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(Print_Page);
PrintPreviewDialog pritdlg = new PrintPreviewDialog();
pritdlg.Document = pd;
if (pritdlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
pd.Print();
else
MessageBox.Show("you have canceled print");
private void Print_Page(object o, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawImage(target, 0,0);
}
Subscribe to the EndPrint event of the document you are sending to the printPreviewDialog control, then check the PrintAction in its PrintEventArgs argument.
Example:
private void buttonPrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrintPreviewDialog printDialog = new PrintPreviewDialog();
printDialog.Document = yourDocument;
yourDocument.EndPrint += doc_EndPrint; // Subscribe to EndPrint event of your document here.
printDialog.ShowDialog();
}
void doc_EndPrint(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintEventArgs e)
{
if (e.PrintAction == System.Drawing.Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPrinter)
{
// Printing to the printer!
}
else if (e.PrintAction == System.Drawing.Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview)
{
// Printing to the preview dialog!
}
}

Set print orientation to landscape

i already can create a print to print a file in my windows forms. However, whenever i add this code:
printDialog.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
I can't see the Orientation of the page become LandScape, it is still Portrait.
How do I make it LandScape as default? So, whenever i click PrintPreview or PrintFile, the Orientation of the page will become LandScape, not Portrait.
Here is the code:
private void PrintPreview(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrintPreviewDialog _PrintPreview = new PrintPreviewDialog();
_PrintPreview.Document = printDocument1;
((Form)_PrintPreview).WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
_PrintPreview.ShowDialog();
}
private void PrintFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
printDialog.Document = printDocument1;
printDialog.UseEXDialog = true;
if (DialogResult.OK == printDialog.ShowDialog())
{
printDocument1.DocumentName = "Test Page Print";
printDocument1.Print();
}
}
try setting the Landscape of PrintDocument as follows,
printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
The pdfprinting.net library is excellent for implementing the print functionality and be productive. Here is the simple code snippet to set print orientation to landscape(pdfPrint.IsLandscape = true;)
var pdfPrint = new PdfPrint("demoCompany", "demoKey");
string pdfFile = #"c:\test\test.pdf";
pdfPrint.IsLandscape = true;
int numberOfPages = pdfPrint.GetNumberOfPages(pdfFile);
var status = pdfPrint.Print(pdfFile);
if (status == PdfPrint.Status.OK) {
// check the result status of the Print method
// your code here
}
// if you have pdf document in byte array that is also supported
byte[] pdfContent = YourCustomMethodWhichReturnsPdfDocumentAsByteArray();
status = pdfPrint.Print(pdfFile);
