.NET: How to print files w/o opening them

I want to print my files discreetly without opening them I've been told to do this :

ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(documentFileName);
psi.Verb = "Print";
Process.Start(psi);

but ProcessStartInfo open the given file so how can I do my printing silently ???

so if I'm not conerned with the extension of 'documentFileName' (well in the matter of fact I'm handeling a list of files and I need to print them whatever their type was) what other alternative I should be doing instead of sending them to ProcessStartInfo ?? — Joy, Oct 17 '12 at 14:35

Try this:

psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

no Hidden mode is not the same as a silent mode, Hidden mode will open the file but won't show it which I'm avoiding to do ! – Joy Oct 17 '12 at 14:19
