Hello

I want to change the tray of the printer I am using. I am using the PrintDocument class and the following is the code im working with

C#

for (int i = 0; i < printDocument.PrinterSettings.PaperSources.Count; i++)
{
    printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource.SourceName = printerSettings.PaperSources[i].SourceName;
    printDocument.Print();
}

The printer paper sources appear to be 17 even though the actualy printer have 3 only. And every time i try to change the papersource in this loop, it doesnt change, the SourceNam stays "Automatically Selected" after the assignment.

I am not able to change the SourceName of the printDocument.

Any assistance would be appreciated

thank you

Hello,

Have you tried?

MIDL

printDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = printerSettings.PaperSources[i];

There is an article on MSDN demonstrating how it should be done:
