Printer settings: Display the list of valid paper sizes

Submitted by donbermoy on Saturday, June 28, 2014 - 14:28.

This tutorial will teach you on how to get and display the list of valid paper sizes of the printer. I already have this tutorial on how to display the list of printers installed in the computer. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application in C# for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application and name your project as Printer Settings. 2. Next, add a Button named button1 to get all the valid paper sizes of the printer, and listbox named listBox1 to display there the paper sizes. You must design your interface like this: design

3. In your button1 to display all the list of valid paper sizes to be printed, put this code below.

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // get all the installed printers
            foreach (string printerName in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
            {
                //call the printer settings
                PrinterSettings printer = new PrinterSettings();
                printer.PrinterName = printerName; //get the settings of a particular printer
 
 
                // if there is a printer
                if (printer.IsValid)
                {
                    //get all the valid paper sizes for printer
                    foreach (PaperSize size in printer.PaperSizes)
                    {
                        // get the size to the printer
                        if (Enum.IsDefined(size.Kind.GetType(), size.Kind))
                        {
                            // added the paper sizes of the printer to the listbox
                           listBox1.Items.Add( size);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

We have declared a foreach loop statment to get all the the installed printers. Inside the loop, we declare a printer variable to call the printer settings. And the printer variable holds the printerName to get the settings of a particular printer. Then, we have created an If statement for the validation of printers. Inside of it is the creation again of a foreach loop that gets the paper sizes of the printer and will be added and diplayed in the listBox. Output: output
