Replacement for Obsolete Print Methods in Aspose.Slides for .NET

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hi,

I can see all the Print methods on Aspose.Slides.Presentation are marked as Obsolete now. Is there a replacement method for these elsewhere or are you removing support for sending to printer?

It appears that the Print methods in the Aspose.Slides.Presentation class have been marked as obsolete. However, you can still print presentations using the Aspose.Slides library by utilizing the updated methods available for this purpose.

To print a presentation to the default printer, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set Your Document Directory: Define the path to your presentation file.

    string dataDir = "Your Document Directory"; // Replace with your actual path

  2. Load the Presentation: Create a Presentation object by loading your PowerPoint file.

    Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dataDir + "Print.ppt");

  3. Print the Presentation: Use the Print() method on the Presentation object to send the document to the default printer.

    presentation.Print();

This method allows you to print the entire presentation directly. If you need to customize the printing options, Aspose.Slides provides various settings to specify printer configurations and page ranges.

For more detailed guidance and examples, you can refer to the official documentation on printing presentations with Aspose.Slides here.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with specific printing options, feel free to ask!

I don’t get this - it seems to just be saying use the same Presentation.Print() method which I have already noted is marked as Obsolete?

Am I missing something?

Is this just AI generated?

@chris23,
The IPresentation.Print methods are no longer recommended and will be removed in future versions of Aspose.Slides. Instead of printing directly via Aspose.Slides, it is recommended to use standard .NET tools—such as those available in the System.Drawing.Printing namespace. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

OK thanks Andrey.
