I would like to print any document such as pdf,word,excel or text files in a selected printer using .net .I have got success to do such printing in the default printer .The only issue now is to print in the selected printer.

Here is the code for the printing.

public bool Print(string FilePath)
    {
        if (File.Exists(FilePath)) {
            if (ShellExecute((System.IntPtr )1, "Print", FilePath, "", Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(FilePath), SW_SHOWNORMAL).ToInt32() <= 32) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
            }
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

Process printJob = new Process();
printJob.StartInfo.FileName = path;
printJob.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
printJob.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
printJob.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
printJob.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
printJob.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerAddress + "\"" + " " + printerExtraParameters;
printJob.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
printJob.Start();
