Printing Settings

Hi all,

When I use this code below, my printing is not producing any different output, even if I make changes to zoom, colour etc. Is there something I am missing or not setting properly?

[Transaction(TransactionMode.Manual)] public class PrintSettingsCommand : IExternalCommand { public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData, ref string message, ElementSet elements) { Document OpenDoc = App.CurrentDocument; PrintManager printManager = OpenDoc.PrintManager; printManager.PrintSetup.CurrentPrintSetting = printManager.PrintSetup.InSession; printManager.SelectNewPrintDriver(App.BASPalette.cboPrinter.SelectedItem as string); printManager.PrintToFile = true; printManager.PrintRange = PrintRange.Select; printManager.PrintToFileName = string.Format(@"C:\PDF\{0}.pdf", OpenDoc.ProjectInformation.Name); IPrintSetting printSettings = printManager.PrintSetup.CurrentPrintSetting; ViewSheetSetting viewSheetSetting = printManager.ViewSheetSetting; ViewSet viewSet = new ViewSet(); for (int i = 0; i < App.BASPalette.lvwSheets.SelectedItems.Count; i++) { WSPSheet sheet = App.BASPalette.lvwSheets.SelectedItems[i] as WSPSheet; if (sheet != null) { if (sheet.View.CanBePrinted) { viewSet.Insert(sheet.View); } } } printSettings.PrintParameters.PageOrientation = PageOrientationType.Landscape; printSettings.PrintParameters.PaperSize = App.BASPalette.cboPaperSize.SelectedItem as PaperSize; printSettings.PrintParameters.ZoomType = ZoomType.Zoom; printSettings.PrintParameters.Zoom = 100; printSettings.PrintParameters.ColorDepth = ColorDepthType.GrayScale; using (Transaction transaction = new Transaction(OpenDoc)) { transaction.Start("Set in-session views"); viewSheetSetting.InSession.Views = viewSet; transaction.Commit(); } printManager.PrintSetup.CurrentPrintSetting = printSettings; printManager.CombinedFile = true; printManager.Apply(); OpenDoc.Print(viewSet, true); return Result.Succeeded; } }

I managed to take the viewprinter from the SDK and modify to suit my requirements.
