Printing PDFs from Network Printers
How do I use IronPDF to print from a network printer?
IronPDF supports every printing option available to C#.
Send to a default printer:
Use the Print
method to send the PDF to the default printer.
IronPdf.PdfDocument.Print(System.Boolean)
// C# example of sending a PDF document to the default printer
using IronPdf;
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf");
// Sends the document to the default printer
pdf.Print(showPreview: false); // set `showPreview` to true to see a preview before printing
// C# example of sending a PDF document to the default printer
using IronPdf;
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf");
// Sends the document to the default printer
pdf.Print(showPreview: false); // set `showPreview` to true to see a preview before printing
' C# example of sending a PDF document to the default printer
Imports IronPdf
Private pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf")
' Sends the document to the default printer
pdf.Print(showPreview:= False) ' set `showPreview` to true to see a preview before printing
Send to a named printer:
Use the overloaded Print
method to specify the printer by name.
IronPdf.PdfDocument.Print(System.String, System.Boolean)
// C# example of sending a PDF document to a specific printer by name
using IronPdf;
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf");
string printerName = "MyNetworkPrinter";
// Sends the document to the specified printer
pdf.Print(printerName, showPreview: false);
// C# example of sending a PDF document to a specific printer by name
using IronPdf;
var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf");
string printerName = "MyNetworkPrinter";
// Sends the document to the specified printer
pdf.Print(printerName, showPreview: false);
' C# example of sending a PDF document to a specific printer by name
Imports IronPdf
Private pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("example.pdf")
Private printerName As String = "MyNetworkPrinter"
' Sends the document to the specified printer
pdf.Print(printerName, showPreview:= False)
Discover printers:
To send the document to a specific printer, ensure the printer is 'discovered'.

You can also try: PdfDocument.GetPrintDocument()
