Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for your interest.

Currently Essential DocIO doesn’t have support for printing functionality. We have logged this as a feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will update you when this feature has been implemented. This can be tracked through our feature management System:


http://www.syncfusion.com/support/directtrac/features/WF-3500

as a workaround, we have prepared the sample to meet your requirement to print the word document by two ways.

·         Using PrintDocument, It convert the document to image and print the images.

·         Using Essential PdfViewer, It convert the document to pdf and print the pdf document.

 Please do find the sample from the below link. Try running this sample and let us know if this helps you.

Thank you very much. This is what i need.
Workaround for anyone else:

WordDocument wordDoc = new WordDocument(fullPath);
                    DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();
                    //Convert word document into PDF document
                    PdfDocument pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc);
                    //Save the pdf file
                    Stream ms = new MemoryStream();
                    pdfDoc.Save(ms);

                    // Print
                    Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PdfViewer.PdfDocumentView documentView = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.PdfViewer.PdfDocumentView();
                    documentView.Load(ms);
                    documentView.PrintDocument.Print();

Hi. I know this is old, but I am new to SyncFusion.

I have an App that I want to be able to print either an envelope or a letter. I would like to print the envelope to Tray 1 (which is a manual-feed Tray) and print the letter to Tray 2 (a paper Cassette).

1. Has the ability to print from DocIO been added?

2. If so, is it also possible to set the Printer Tray? This feature is vital to my app.

3. Is it possible to set the Printer tray for printing a PDF file?

4. Any suggestions on being able to create a DocIO document and then print it after selecting and setting a particular Printer Tray?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Kim,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Could you please confirm your requirement is to Setting paper tray for Word document using DocIO APIs or Expecting to choose paper tray when printing by using Word to image functionality of DocIO?

Based on the above we will check and provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Could you please confirm your requirement is to Setting paper tray for Word document using DocIO APIs (Yes!) or Expecting to choose paper tray when printing by using Word to image functionality of DocIO (Yes!)

Yes! to both highlighted items above.

I want the ability to programmatically select the Paper Tray when printing a DocIO document. I will explore the sample and see if that is what I am looking for.

The easiest answer would be to add this feature to the API, like:

iDocument.print(PrinterTray:="Tray 1")

Thank You,

Kim

Hi Kim,

Thank you for your update.

Currently DocIO doesn’t have a support to set the paper tray in the document. We need to analyse the feasibility to provide the support for this case. So, we will update you with more details on 17th June 2020.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
