PrintDialog does not pull paper size of printer set in windows if printer not default

I have a printer that needs to have different paper size than the default size of the driver. This is configured correctly in Windows. When I call the PrintDialog and select this printer and is not the default printer then the paper size is incorrect. If the printer is the default printer then correct paper size is selected.

Background: OS: Windows 10 Home Version 1803, build 17134.112 Printer: Epson TM-T6000

Solution

  • Figured out a way, not the best but a way none the less. Create one PrintDialog to get the printer name, then create a second PrintDialog and set the PrintQueue to printer from the first one.
