If you are attempting to print Form2, I believe this code will work:

You will probably need to bring Form2 to the foreground before running that code and you might need to put the actual code in the Form2 code behind.

I would recommend you get the Form printing to work first, and then try to expand it to be called from another form.

The link I gave you gives you all the code you need to print a form. Get started there. Once you have your form printing, call the print method from Form1 using a reference to Form2. If that works, you are good to go. If it doesn't, try using the reference to Form2 to bring it to the foreground and then execute the print command.

Good link and advice, my 5. I would only note that in many cases the developers think they need to print a form/windows, in reality what's needed is printing some data associated with the form, which is not exactly the same.

Solution 2

try it

C#

Process printjob = new Process();
printjob.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
printjob.StartInfo.FileName = @"c:/test.jpg";
printjob.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
printjob.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
printjob.Start();
