打印到vb.net中用户选择的纸盘

Question

I need to print the word document into user selected tray of the printer.

I am working on VSTO and developing the new ribbon in ms Word 2010 which includes the printing option as-well. I have managed to read the available trays for the selected printer and also user can select the specific tray.

But the point where I am confused is when I am printing, how should I specify that selected tray?

I am working on vb.net.

You may use the PrinterSettings.PaperSources collection to iterate and determine which tray to use.

And to iterate, you can use this snippet as basis and expand as necessary:

PrintDocument printDoc1 = new PrintDocument();
for (int i = 0; i < printDoc1.PrinterSettings.PaperSources.Count; i++)
{
}

And to select a specific tray to use, set the PageSettings.PaperSource property.
