I am trying to build a class, within a C# class library, which will programmatically read binary data (images) from a database table and then print the images on one or more pages. But, instead of printing directly to a printer I want the 'print out' to be saved to a file.
This functionality is synonymous to enabling the 'Print to file' feature, which is present on most Windows print dialog boxes, and then initiating the print job.
I have been trying to use the System.Drawing.Printing namespace. More importantly,
I have been trying to use the PrintDocument class. Yet, a reference in MSDN has indicated that this namespace is designed for Window form development --- it does not mention any consequences about using it in a class within a class library.
The snippet code shows what I have done so far. I have developed a test harness which consumes this class and calls its print method. As soon as the PrintDocument object's Print() method is called I get the following error (accompanied by the usual ASP.Net stack trace)
The handle is invalid.
I am concluding that since I am not in a Windows form environment a handle can not be found.
Can I use the PrintDocument consumed by a class within a class library?
If not, which namespace could I use which will 'Print to file'?
Can I use the 'Print to file' feature to generate a print file (.prn) programmatically?
Can anyone point me to sample code which I can reference?
Thanks
Believe me, it is easy. As with any class, before we can use any of the Classes, Events and Objects available to us in the.Net Framework we need to import the Namespaces we need. For this we need 3 namespaces. VB.Net users only required 2 because VB.Net assumes the System Namespace, whereas C# isn’t so kind: System System.Drawing System.Drawing.Printing These 3 Namespaces contain everything. PRN File Analyse. This tool provides an analysis of the contents of a nominated print file. It recognises and deciphers PCL, PCL XL, HP-GL/2, PJL and PML. Note that this tool does not interact with a printer - it analyses a nominated file. This tool sends the contents of a nominated print file to the target printer.

A PRN file is a type of file that can be read by printers. It’s basically a generic output file that printers can understand. Sometimes you will end up with one of these files and need to print it.
A PRN file contains raw commands instructions for a printer which are usually created by a printer driver. It is not a simple text file you can open with a text editor software and print it as is, because it contains commands instructions in the form of bytes that must be sent to the printer without any modifications so the printer firmware can process them. I had created a label using zebra designer and also generated its zpl code in a.prn file. However, I'm developing.NET application that needs users to enter the data into the label's variable fields and preview it before printing it out. I had no idea how to go about doing the preview of the label together with user's entered data into the label.

You used to be able to print these files to your local printer by using the command COPY /B C:FILENAME.PRN LPT1:. These days, printers are not attached to LPT1 anymore. USB cables are used instead. So you have to use the network method in order to print the file. Here’s how to do this in Windows.
Option 1 – Using Software
If you need to print the PRN file to Windows Printer or other formats, such as PDF, EPS, PS, XPS, PCL, EMF, etc. formats, you can use following two software to finish this work,
1. You can use VeryPDF SPL to PDF Converter Command Line to convert from PRN files to PDF files first,
spl2pdf.exe D:test.prn D:out.pdf
spl2pdf.exe D:test.spl D:out.pdf
2. You can use VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line to print PDF files to Windows Printer,
pdfprint.exe D:test.pdf
pdfprint.exe -printtofile C:out.pcl -printer 'HP PCL Printer' C:input.pdf
Print XPS file to PDF, PCL, XPS and other formats:
pdfprint.exe D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printtofile D:downloadsout.spl D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printer 'VeryPDF Postscript Writer' -printtofile D:downloadsout.ps D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printer 'Adobe PDF' -printtofile D:downloadsout.pdf D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printer 'VeryPDF PCL Writer' -printtofile D:downloadsout.pcl D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printer 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' -printtofile D:downloadsout.xps D:VeryPDF.xps
pdfprint.exe -printer 'docPrint' -printtofile D:downloadsout.emf D:VeryPDF.xps
Print XPS file to PDF file:
pdfprint.exe -printer 'PDFcamp Printer' -printtofile D:downloadsout.pdf D:VeryPDF.xps
Print PDF file to XPS file:
pdfprint.exe -printer 'Microsoft XPS Document Writer' -printtofile D:downloadsout.xps D:VeryPDF.pdf
With above two products, you can print PRN, SPL, PDF, EPS, PS, Image, etc. formats to Windows Printer and other formats easily.

Option 2 – Using Commands in Windows
1. Share the printer on the network. If the printer you are using is already on a network such as your company network, skip this step.
Print.prn File
2. Now we have to find the network path to your printer. If the printer you wish to print to is a company shared network printer that is not attached to your computer, it should have the server name and printer name under your list of Printers. It will say something like printername on PrintServer or LaserJet on PrintServer. So the path to these printers would be PrintServerprintername and PrintServerLaserJet respectively.
3. If the printer is attached to your PC, the path will be the computer name and then the name of the printer. You can find your computer name by right-clicking My Computer and selecting Properties under the Computer Name tab. The name of the printer can be found under Printers in Windows by right clicking on the printer and selecting Properties. The printername is in the top field. So if my computer name is TP123 and the printer name is LaserJet, the path would be TP123LaserJet.
4. Armed with this information, we can then go to Start > Run and use this command to copy the file to the printer. This command assumes the PRN file is located on the root of the C drive:
COPY /B C:FILENAME.PRN TP123LaserJet
Print Prn File To Pdf
The printer should then print out the contents of the PRN file.
