public class PrintDocument extends Component
Normalmente, se crea una nueva instancia de la clase PrintDocument, se establecen las propiedades que describen cómo imprimir y se llama al método Print para iniciar el proceso de impresión. Para especificar el resultado que se va a imprimir, hay que controlar el evento PrintPage y utilizar Graphics que se incluyen en PrintPageEventArgs.
Para obtener más información sobre la impresión, vea la información general sobre el espacio de nombres System.Drawing.Printing.
En el siguiente ejemplo de código se imprime el archivo denominado C:\My Documents\MyFile.txt en la impresora predeterminada. Para ejecutar el ejemplo, hay que cambiar la ruta de acceso al mapa de bits que desea imprimir. También se puede modificar el procedimiento InitializeComponent mediante el Diseñador de Windows Forms.
Nota |
|---|
| El ejemplo requiere que cada línea se ajuste al ancho de página. |
Utilice los espacios de nombres System.ComponentModel, System.Windows.Forms, System.Drawing, System.Drawing.Printing e System.IO para este ejemplo.
