How to print a Java Word document

Today, I would like to show you how to print a Word document in Java. There are three ways to do it with Spire.doc for Java:

1. Print with PrinterJob class
2. Print to physical printer
3. Mark the virtual printer

.

Now, let me introduce each of them.

Preparation

1. From the official website of E-iceblue Free Spire.doc for Java Download the free version.

2. Start the IDE, create a new project, and then add the appropriate Spire.doc.jar for the installed files to your references.

Print with PrinterJob class

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    //Load the Document.
    Document doc = new Document();
    doc.loadFromFile("Sample.docx");

    PrinterJob loPrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    PageFormat loPageFormat = loPrinterJob.defaultPage();

    //Set the paper size.
    Paper loPaper = loPageFormat.getPaper();
    loPaper.setSize(600, 500);
    loPageFormat.setPaper(loPaper);

    //Remove the default margin.
    loPaper.setImageableArea(0, 0, loPageFormat.getWidth(), loPageFormat.getHeight());
    //Set the number of copies to print.
    loPrinterJob.setCopies(1);
    loPrinterJob.setPrintable(doc, loPageFormat);
    //Set the dialog box.
    if (loPrinterJob.printDialog()) {
        //Print.
        try {
            loPrinterJob.print();
        } catch (PrinterException e)

        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

}

 <h4> Print to a physical printer </h4>
```java
import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.ms.System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings;

public class PrintWord {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Load Word.
        Document document = new Document();
        document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\DocoumentToPrint.docx");

        //Create a PrinterSettings object.
        PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings();

        //Set the name of the physical printer.
        printerSettings.setPrinterName("\\\\192.168.1.104\\HP LaserJet P1007");

        //Set the number of copies to print.
        printerSettings.setCopies((short) 1);

        //Set the print range.
        printerSettings.setFromPage(2);
        printerSettings.setToPage(4);

        //Apply the settings.
        document.getPrintDocument().setPrinterSettings(printerSettings);

        //Print.
        document.getPrintDocument().print();
    }
}

Print to virtual printer

public class PrintWord {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    //Load Word.
    Document document = new Document();
    document.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\DocumentToPrint.docx");

    //Create a PrinterSettings object.
    PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings();

    //Set up a virtual printer.
    printerSettings.setPrinterName("Microsoft Print to PDF");

    //Print to a file.
    printerSettings.setPrintToFile(true);

    //Set the save location and name of the file.
    printerSettings.setPrintFileName("output/PrintToPDF.pdf");

    //Apply the settings.
    document.getPrintDocument().setPrinterSettings(printerSettings);

    //Print.
    document.getPrintDocument().print();
}

}
