Hi Jonathan,

You'd first get a FixedDocument like this:

FixedDocument fixedDocument = editor.PrintSettings.CreateFixedDocument(editor);

Then you could probably make a PrintDialog and use it to print without showing anything:

PrintDialog window = new PrintDialog();
window.PrintDocument(fixedDocument.DocumentPaginator, editor.Document.FileName);

Hi, appreciate the feedback. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been able to implement with one minor issue. When printed the page numbers at the bottom of the first page show as "Page 1 of 0" and subsequent pages as "Page 0 of 0". Is there a quick solution to this or do I have to implement a custom DocumentPaginator. If the custom DocumentPaginator is required, any clues on how I located and modify these values. Appreciate the help

Hi Jonathan,

Hmm, those values come from bindings in the template for that line number margin. They search up for a parent IPrinterView and grab the PageNumber and PageCount from that. The weird thing is that I can step through and see the printer views being created properly. But for some reason actually displaying the Print dialog makes a difference as to whether these bindings function or not. So far I'm not sure what is causing that. I don't think the document paginator has anything to do with it though.

Another option is to export an XPS like in our other quickstart and just send that to your printer.
