![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
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.

|---|
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.
