Hi,

We are having some difficulties printing with embedded png images in our workflow. The png images when printed (or viewed in print preview) are displaying as coloured squares instead of the actual image. We have found we have been able to export to bitmap without a problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Stoyan,

I had no luck finding the option you mentioned. The printer being used is a HP LaserJet 4100. I've attached a screenshot demonstrating the issue we're having.

Thanks,

Hi,

we have tried to print with other GIF and BMP images. Still no luck of getting it work.

I had tried and the simple image works.
However, the images in the flowchart are still not printing properly.

It seems that the flowchart boxes are not rendering properly.


Here is the code:

public void Print()
{
     PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
     doc.PrintPage += this.Doc_PrintPage;

     this.flowChart.Print(doc);
}

private void Doc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{   
     e.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile("C:\\Projects\\Workflow\\Trunk\\ServerSide\\
CommonLibrary\\Resources\\FailureEvnet16.png"),100, 100);
}

well, by default, FlowChart.PrintOptions.EnableImages is set to true.

Nevertheless, I did try to set it to true as well but still no luck.

Hi Stoyan,

I think the issue may be caused by the way we're initializing the flowchart or flowchart objects. When the image to print is rendered in print preview all of the flowchart objects (except text) appear very small, and to get the image to size correctly we need to fit to page. Possibly the reason why the icons are appearing as pixels is because the holder for the icon is only displaying as one or two pixels.

Thanks for your help

Thanks Stoyan, will look into it.

Regards,
Simon
