PrintToolBase.Print() Method

Prints the current document on the default printer.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPrinting

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v23.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#

public void Print()

VB.NET

Public Sub Print

Remarks

This method immediately sends a report assigned to the PrintToolBase to the default printer.

The document to be printed is accessible via the PrintingSystemBase.Document property of the PrintToolBase.PrintingSystem. Note that you need to call the XtraReport.CreateDocument method to generate a document prior to calling the Print method.

To send a report to a different printer, use the overloaded Print(String) method with the printerName parameter.

To support server printing on Linux, install the libcups library. See Printing in Reporting Tools for Web for details.
