WPF Printing from a TextBox

Question

I am having trouble printing from a TextBox in WPF

My Textbox will only contain a number between 1 and 999

I wanted to print font size 72 and the text enclosed within a 4" box (so they can cut around the edges)

    private void InvokePrint(String contentToPrint)
    {
        // Create the print dialog object and set options
        PrintDialog pDialog = new PrintDialog();
        pDialog.PageRangeSelection = PageRangeSelection.AllPages;
        pDialog.UserPageRangeEnabled = true;

        // Display the dialog. This returns true if the user presses the Print button.
        Nullable<Boolean> print = pDialog.ShowDialog();
        if (print == true)
        {
            FixedDocumentSequence fixedDocSeq = xpsDocument.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
            pDialog.PrintDocument(fixedDocSeq.DocumentPaginator, "Printing Label");
        }
    }

I got the code from Microsoft's site but they are using an XPS printer. I want to use the default selected printer (usually an HP).

Any help would greatly be appreciated

Check this post, you would need to detect the default printer or spedfify one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/86138/whats-the-best-way-to-get-the-default-printer-in-net — Shashank Shekhar, Jun 03 '15 at 16:34
