Silent printing generated word documents

[Igor]

Hi,

I am working on a class library which generates invoices using DocIO and I want to print such generated word documents on a default printer, without any user intervention.
The complete solution is running on the windows server as an win app scheduled to run in predefined intervals.

But, I am a little confused about the DocIO ability to print word documents silently.
I have found info on this forum, that:
1) DocIO can't print a word document
2) It can print with the Syncfusion.DLS.Rendering.DLSViewer (but the info is from 2006 and I've got errors trying to run it)
3) It can print PDF files with PDFViewer (couldn't find a working sample)

So, my question is: Is it possible to print a generated document (or pdf, doesn't matter) directly to the default printer, without any print dialogs, any user intervention?
Any working samples?

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Essential DocIO lets you to convert the Word document as Image and print the generated images using silent printing by default printer settings, page settings and print the document by invoking the PrintDocument.Print method. Please find the sample for this from below link and let us know if this helps you.

Hi Sathish,

Based on the sample, I have successfully managed to silently print my documents.
I have found another way to silently print, not using the PrintDialog which isn't available if you are building a class library dll (as I am).

Here is a code snippet:
public void PrintDocument( string fileName, string printerName )
{
    DocToImage(  fileName );
   
    PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
    if (printerName != "")
        printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerName;
    printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler( OnPrintPage );
    printDoc.Print();
}
