Examples

The following example shows how to create an instance of the LocalPrintServer class.

// -------------------- GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter() -------------------
/// <summary>
///   Returns an XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue.</summary>
/// <returns>
///   An XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue.</returns>
private XpsDocumentWriter GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter()
{
    // Create a local print server
    LocalPrintServer ps = new LocalPrintServer();

    // Get the default print queue
    PrintQueue pq = ps.DefaultPrintQueue;

    // Get an XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue
    XpsDocumentWriter xpsdw = PrintQueue.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(pq);
    return xpsdw;
}// end:GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter()

' -------------------- GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter() -------------------
''' <summary>
'''   Returns an XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue.</summary>
''' <returns>
'''   An XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue.</returns>
Private Function GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter() As XpsDocumentWriter
    ' Create a local print server
    Dim ps As New LocalPrintServer()

    ' Get the default print queue
    Dim pq As PrintQueue = ps.DefaultPrintQueue

    ' Get an XpsDocumentWriter for the default print queue
    Dim xpsdw As XpsDocumentWriter = PrintQueue.CreateXpsDocumentWriter(pq)
    Return xpsdw
End Function ' end:GetPrintXpsDocumentWriter()

Remarks

When your application writes a value to a property of the LocalPrintServer object, that change has no effect until the value is passed to the computer that is represented by the LocalPrintServer object. To ensure that the change in value takes effect, use the Commit method.

In addition, other applications may also change the print service properties of the computer. To ensure that the LocalPrintServer object used by your application has the latest actual values, use the Refresh method.

Caution

Classes within the System.Printing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows service or ASP.NET application or service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions.

If you want to print from a Windows Forms application, see the System.Drawing.Printing namespace.

Constructors

LocalPrintServer()	Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class.

LocalPrintServer(LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[])	Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty array.
LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess)	Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified PrintSystemDesiredAccess.
LocalPrintServer(String[], PrintSystemDesiredAccess)	Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified properties and PrintSystemDesiredAccess.
LocalPrintServer(String[])	Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified properties.
