I had a requirement of printing MS Word document for the application, and the
user should be given an option to change printer settings for the document
that he/she wants to print, so that user can change page source, duplex
property and color property of the printer.
i found code for duplex in the following link
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/NET_Printer_Library.aspx
it is working for duplex but if i try to implement it for color printing on
a shared printer it is not affecting.
can anyone provide code for this in C#.Net(Windows Application)

In VBA, instead of ActiveDocument.PrintOut, you would use the following line
of code

Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show

This displays the same print dialog that appears when you go to File Print,
and allows the user to set anything about the print setup that he wants
before printing.

I don't know what the equivalent C# code is, but hopefully you will be able
to translate

Word's Print dialog works for all printers that Word can use, share or
local.
