When clicking the print button there is no printing action

Using the demo project, I found that the print option is not running.

Hello,

Please read the following article about printing in Avalonia:

Thank you.

Important!

Keep in mind a particular characteristic of Windows OS: after printing, the document itself is closed in the application, but the application may remain open. This behavior can’t be influenced from our side.

I need to print directly (Windows) to a local or network printer where I have the printer name, and this must be done silently. Could you help me?

Hello,

Unfortunately, as we mentioned earlier in the article, Avalonia does not have a direct print of the report.
As an option, you can export the report to PDF and then print the exported file from the command line.

Thank you.

Could you help me with printing via the command line where I don't use the application?

Hello,

You can try to use one of these methods:

1. Using Command Line with SumatraPDF (free, portable)
One of the simplest and most reliable methods.
Download SumatraPDF (a portable version is available).
Print command:

cmd

Code: Select all

SumatraPDF.exe -print-to "PrinterName" "path\to\file.pdf"

Example:
cmd

Code: Select all

SumatraPDF.exe -print-to "HP LaserJet P1005" "C:\docs\example.pdf"

You can also use -print-to-default to send it to the default printer.

2. Using PowerShell
If Adobe Reader (or a similar program) is installed, you can invoke it via PowerShell:

powershell

Code: Select all

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\docs\example.pdf" -Verb PrintTo -ArgumentList '"PrinterName"'

Note: This only works if the PDF reader supports the PrintTo verb. Adobe Reader usually does.

3. Using the Print utility with a virtual PDF printer
If you want to send a PDF to a virtual printer (like Microsoft Print to PDF), you can try:

cmd

Code: Select all

print /D:"\\PrinterName" "C:\docs\example.pdf"

However, print only works with plain text files — not PDF. So this method is generally not recommended for PDFs.

Thank you.
