What are the steps to perform server side printing using .net 6 and PdfSharpCore?

edit

1. Install the PdfSharpCore package using NuGet.
2. Create a new Razor page or MVC View where you want to perform server-side printing.

3. Add the required using statements:

   using PdfSharpCore.Drawing;
   using PdfSharpCore.Pdf;
   using System.Drawing.Printing;
   

4. Create a new PdfDocument object:

   var doc = new PdfDocument();
   

5. Add a new page to the document:

   var page = doc.AddPage();
   

6. Create a graphics object to draw on the page:

   var gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
   

7. Add text or graphics to the page using the graphics object:

   gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", new XFont("Verdana", 20), XBrushes.Black, new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height), XStringFormats.Center);
   

8. Create a PrintDocument object:

   var printDoc = new PrintDocument();
   

9. Set the printer name and page settings:

   printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "<printer name>";
   printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("Custom", (int)page.Width.Point, (int)page.Height.Point);
   

10. Attach an event handler to the PrintPage event:

    printDoc.PrintPage += (sender, args) =>
    {
        var stream = new MemoryStream();
        doc.Save(stream);
        var bytes = stream.ToArray();
        args.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(bytes)), args.PageBounds);
    };
    

11. Print the document:

    printDoc.Print();
    

12. Dispose of the graphics and document objects:

    gfx.Dispose();
    doc.Dispose();
    

Note: You may need to adjust the code to suit your specific use case.
