Title: Send a printout directly to a specific printer in C#

To send a printout directly to a specific printer, simply set the PrintDocument object's PrinterSettings.PrinterName property to the printer's name. This example uses the following code to print directly to the printer named "HP Deskjet F300 Series."

// Print. private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Select the printer. pdocSmiley.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "HP Deskjet F300 Series"; // Print. pdocSmiley.Print(); }

The code sets the printer's name and then calls the PrintDocument object's Print method to immediately send the printout to that printer.

The PrintDocument object named pdocSmiley has a PrintPage event handler that prints a smiley face. Download the example so see how that and other details work.
