主要是使用 Printing.PreviewPrintController 的產生預覽圖片的功能來儲存列印內容, 再把圖片送到印表機, 以保証列印內容和儲存的圖檔是一致的. 值得一提的是, 在預覽時可以使用不同的印表機, 以便讓產生較小的圖檔, 否則有時會發生 GDI+ 的錯誤.

Sample 如下:

Imports System.Drawing.Printing

Namespace X

    Partial Public Class PrintSomething

        Dim PD As PrintDocument

        Dim ppc As New Printing.PreviewPrintController()

        Dim TotalPage As Int32 = 0

        ''' <summary>

        ''' 第幾次列印, 用來控制寫出的圖檔

        ''' </summary>

        ''' <remarks></remarks>

        Dim PrintCount As Int32 = 1

        Dim PageCount As Int32 = 1

            :

            :

            :

      

        Sub New(ByVal oPM As DB.PackingListMain, ByVal dtDetail As DataTable, dtUsedCoupon As DataTable)

            AddHandler PD.PrintPage, AddressOf GeneratePreview

            '再來儲存圖片

            AddHandler PD.EndPrint, AddressOf SaveImage

        End Sub

            Dim PathLocal As String = "C:\PrintLog\" & TF.Substring(0, 4) & "-" & TF.Substring(4, 2) & "\"

            Dim PathPackingListSheetImage As String = DB.SysConfig.PackingListSheetImage & TF.Substring(0, 4) & "-" & TF.Substring(4, 2) & "\"

            Next



            '把圖檔印出來

            For x As Integer = 0 To ppi.Length - 1

  '建立新的 PrintDocument

                InitPrintDocument()

                If CST.WebConfig.Server_NAME = "測試主機" Then

                    UW.WU.DebugWriteLine("PrinterName: " & Me.PD.PrinterSettings.PrinterName)

                    UW.WU.DebugWriteLine("PaperSize: " & PD.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize.PaperName)
