PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions Property

Definition

Gets all the resolutions that are supported by this printer.

C#
public System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutionCollection PrinterResolutions { get; }

Property Value

A PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutionCollection that represents the resolutions that are supported by this printer.

Examples

The following code example populates the comboPrintResolution combo box with the supported resolutions. The example requires that a PrintDocument variable named printDoc exists and that the specific combo box exists.

C#
// Add list of printer resolutions found on the printer to the combobox.
// The PrinterResolution's ToString() method will be used to provide the display string.

PrinterResolution pkResolution;
for (int i = 0; i < printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions.Count; i++){
    pkResolution = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutions[i];
    comboPrintResolution.Items.Add(pkResolution);
}

Remarks

The PrinterSettings.PrinterResolutionCollection contains PrinterResolution instances that represent the printer resolutions supported through the PrinterResolution.Kind property, which contains one of the PrinterResolutionKind values.

Typically, you set a page's paper source through the PageSettings.PrinterResolution property to a valid PrinterResolution available through the PrinterResolutions collection.

If PrinterResolutionKind is Custom, then use the X and Y properties to determine the custom printer resolution in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
