Printing sample

This sample demonstrates how apps can add support for printing on Windows.

The scenarios demonstrated in this sample include:

  • Adding support for printing using app UX
  • Customizing the print experience by changing how the printer settings are shown to the user
  • Using a custom print template to print a range of pages
  • Printing alternate content that is not part of the current document

Changes from previous versions of the sample:

  • Removed charms-based printing scenario
  • Refactored BasePrintPage out of solution for increased clarity. Sample now uses PageToPrint class and PrintHelper class instead.
  • Added exception handling to ShowPrintUIAsync calls
  • Updated app to Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

System requirements

Client

Windows 10

  2. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
  3. Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio 2015 Solution (.sln) file.
  4. Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.

To debug the app and then run it, press F5 or use Debug > Start Debugging. To run the app without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or use Debug > Start Without Debugging.
