Title: Let the user select a printer and then send a printout directly to it in C#

// List the available printers. private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { foreach (string printer in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters) cboPrinter.Items.Add(printer); }

This code loops through the System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters collection, adding each printer's name to the ComboBox.

When the user selects a printer and clicks Print, the following code sends the printout to the selected printer.

// Print. private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Select the printer. pdocSmiley.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboPrinter.Text; // Print. pdocSmiley.Print(); }

This code sets the PrintDocument object's printer name to the selected printer and then calls the PrintDocument object's Print method to generate the printout.
