Question

I’ve using the WPF DocumentViewer control to display an XPS Document like so:

viewer.Document = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence(); 

When the print button inside the document viewer is clicked everything prints okay, however the name of the print job is System.Windows.Documents.FixedDocumentSequence, which is less than ideal.

How do I set the name of the print job?

I know using PrintDialog.PrintDocument() lets me set the name, but I can’t see how to do it using the DocumentViewer control.

I found a solution.

Add this to the XAML

<Window.CommandBindings>     <CommandBinding Command='ApplicationCommands.Print' PreviewExecuted='CommandBinding_PreviewExecuted' Executed='CommandBinding_Executed' /> </Window.CommandBindings> 

And this to the code behind

private void CommandBinding_PreviewExecuted(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e) {     PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog();     if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true)     {         dialog.PrintDocument(Document.DocumentPaginator, 'Print Job Title');     } }  private void CommandBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e) {     //needed so that preview executed works } 

A couple of things of note. The PreviewExecuted method doesn’t happen if the Exectued event isn’t bound to. Don’t know why.
