The PageSettings class is used to specify settings that modify the way a page will be printed. Typically, you set default settings for all pages to be printed through the PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings property. To specify settings on a page-by-page basis, handle the PrintDocument.PrintPage or PrintDocument.QueryPageSettings event and modify the PageSettings argument included in the PrintPageEventArgs or QueryPageSettingsEventArgs, respectively.
For more information about handling PrintDocument events, see the PrintDocument class overview. For more information about printing, see the System.Drawing.Printing namespace overview.
The following example demonstrates handling the PrintPage event and checking the PageSettings argument of PrintPageEventArgs. To use this code, add a PrintDocument component named PrintDocument1 to a Windows Form and associate its PrintPage event with the printDocument1_PrintPage method in the example.
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) { if (e.PageSettings.Color && !printDocument1.PrinterSettings.SupportsColor) MessageBox.Show("Color printing not supported on selected printer.", "Printer Warning", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel); }
