How to set printer and paper size for Web Browser control?
Alex Fedorov
We need to set headers, footers paper size and printer name from our Web Browser
application. Please help, it is very important to us. This is what I found:
1) HOWTO: Print Custom Headers and Footers for a WebBrowser Control
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q267240
it works for header and footer, but doesn't help to set printer and paper size
2) Printing with the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/wb_print.asp
it uses hooks and works for IE4 and 5.0 only
3) ScriptX control
http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx
It looks good, but we can not use it because of their strange licensing requirement.
Also, mshtmcid.h from SDK has many undocumented constants:
IDM_EXECPRINT
IDM_GETPRINTTEMPLATE
IDM_SETPRINTTEMPLATE
IDM_TEMPLATE_PAGESETUP
IDM_SHOWPRINT
IDM_SHOWPAGESETUP
IDM_FIRE_PRINTTEMPLATEUP
IDM_FIRE_PRINTTEMPLATEDOWN
IDM_SETPRINTHANDLES
IDM_PAGESETUP
Does somebody know what it is for? Is it possible to do with Print template what we need?
Thank you very much for any ideas.
Best,
