Printing in Vista

We have problem printing in Windows Vista. When using DiagramView.Print() nothing happens. Are the any special print options that are needed?
It is still possible to print the document from PrintPreviw and PrintPreviewEx and in XP everything works perfectly.

Do you have a printer driver installed on the Vista system?

Yes. I've tried this on three computers running vista and all of them behaved the same way.

Is it the same printer installed on all systems? What if you print while logged on as administrator?

They have different printers and running as administrator doesn’t help. And It is possible to print if you go throw the print preview dialog, so the application has access to the printer.

Print() works fine on all of our Vista systems. Do you have any software running on yours that might be monitoring the printers? What versions and service packs of Windows, the .NET runtime and Flowchart.NET do you have?

Hi!
We are running on the following configurations.
Windows Vista Ultimat SP1 64 bit
MindFusion.Diagramming.Winforms.dll 5.2.1.22984
MindFusion.Diagramming.dll 5.2.1.22983
.NET 3.5 SP1

I wrote a small test application with a diagramview and three buttons, calling Print()/PrintPreview()/PrintPreeviewEx() respectively.

Recorded a small screencast that can be accessed from http://dan.meridium.se/FlowChartPrintTest.avi
Example project can be downloaded from http://dan.meridium.se/TestPrinting.rar

So the print dialog is not shown at all? What if you use the Print(PrintDocument) overload, as in the Print() implementation shown below:

Code
Select All
public void Print()
{
	PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
	dlg.AllowPrintToFile = false;
	dlg.AllowSomePages = true;

	// Setup the .NET print document
	dlg.Document = new PrintDocument();
	dlg.Document.DocumentName = printOptions.DocumentName;
	dlg.Document.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = printOptions.Margins;
	dlg.Document.PrinterSettings.MinimumPage = 1;
	dlg.Document.PrinterSettings.MaximumPage = 10000;
	dlg.Document.PrinterSettings.FromPage = 1;
	dlg.Document.PrinterSettings.ToPage = 100;

	if (dlg.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
		Print(dlg.Document);
}


If this down not work, try removing the assignments to dlg.Document.PrinterSettings - perhaps the Windows Vista x64 print dialog does not like some of the values and just returns a result different from DialogResult.OK.

Hi!
Tried the example, but all I got from dlg.ShowDialog(this) was DialogResult.Cancel. Tried to skip the PrinterSettings but this didn't work anyway...

What if you try to only show the PrintDialog?

PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
if (dlg.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
     Print(dlg.Document);

This should use a default PrintDocument created by the dialog.

Nah, that didn't work directly, but after searching for the problem I found a post http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues/th... that suggested to set the dialog property UseEXDialog to true.
That did the trick...

The following code works...
Code
Select All
PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
dlg.UseEXDialog = true;
if (dlg.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
    diagramView1.Print(dlg.Document);
