  Well... no.

  I got this box when i'm using the printdialog methode... But, when i'm using the PrintPreviewDialog, there is a button on the default forme, with a printer.

  I don't have any problem when i want to print using the normal way, my dialogs are good and well setted. But when i want to use the PrintPreviewDialog, and click on the button, i directly go to the printer, with no more dialog, and have a white page.

  Maybe if i know how to catch the click on the implemented button (the one made by microsoft in the prinpreviewdialog class :)), i could get what's really happens..

  It's hard to explain exactly, but i hope you've understand

  So, i get the answer.

  When the printpreview dialog is called, my sub to draw my pages is called a first time(by the print event). I assumed that the printpreview will not recall it a second time, and keep in memory. But in fact, the print event is raised a second time, and i get shared objects.. So, my vars weren't initialized at new, and my function failed.

  Thanks for your help :)

  ok here is a silly "check" point - is there ink I remember I had someone go through this, and after days found out he had no ink *oops*

   

   Just to add - have you tried saving the print to a file instead of directing it to a printer That will then show you is perhaps you have set the wrong document to print property

  I guess that if I could print a page using the print dialog, there is enough ink in my printer..  : )

  Thanks, but i think that the problem is coming from another thing...

   

  added : Dunno how do that.. maybe can you give an exemple to do this, or how todo this print normaly here is my code for printpreview :

   

      Public Sub PrintPreview(ByVal objectToPrint As Object, ByVal projectName As String)

          Try

              PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = GetPrintDocument(objectToPrint, projectName)
              PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()

          Catch e As InvalidPrinterException
              MsgBox(m_ResourceManager.GetString("Msg.Text.PrintPreview"), MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, DataManagementLibrary.SgsTitle)
              PrintPreviewDialog1.Close()
          End Try

      End Sub

   

  GetPrintDocuments return the good print document (I use the same function for normal print, and the printpreview is good.. only the real print when i go through this control fails..)

  well when you write to a file - when you click "print" you will get the print dialog box right

  Well, find a check box which says "print to file" and click ok, so it will print the document to the file on disk rather than to the printer
