VB .NET 2008 Printer Manipulation

Reply Contact

Hello,I have a VB .NET 2008 application that opens a given InfoPath document in InfoPath 2003 or 2007 for the user: appIP.XDocuments.Open(lstrNewXmlFileBuilder.ToString())Now instead of opening the InfoPath GUI for the user, I want to send the InfoPath document to a PDF printer: appIP.Windows(0).XDocument.PrintOut()My problem is that I have not been able to find how to direct the PrintOut command to a specified printer. If at all possible, I do not want to changed the user's Default Printer. My app has referenced Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath version 11 so that users with InfoPath 2003 can use it. However, if the solution to this requires that I change that reference to version 12, I am prepared to do that.I would appreciate any help that I can get; my boss wants this project to be completed last week.

The MSDN docs say about PrintOut:

The PrintOut method uses the current printer settings

So, that's out. It looks like the XmlForm.Print method also uses the current printer settings, so I don't think switching to 2007 would make a difference here. It may be changing the default printer is the only path for this.
