    I wrote this powershell script to print images. But when the script runs and starts to print I am getting empty page printout. I tried to use printdocument and graphics from .NET framework.This is my first time using powershell and .NET framework so I used these scripts for reference: script1, script2. I don't know what I am missing here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    function Start-Print {

    $CopyCount = 1

    $pd = New-Object System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument

    $files = Get-ChildItem -Path "D:\Users\Phuntsho Wangdi\Desktop\New folder\unprinted\*" -Include "*.jpeg", "*.png", "*.jpg"

    foreach ($global:file in $files) {

        $file_name = Get-ChildItem -Name $file

        Write-Host $file_name

        $pd.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Canon E510 series printer"
        $pd.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = $True
        $pd.PrinterSettings.Copies = $CopyCount
        $pd.DefaultPageSettings.Color = $false
        $pd.DocumentName = $file_name

        $action = {
            $bmp = New-Object System.Drawing.Bitmap("$file")

            #implemented from https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/RoughDraft/0.1/Content/Send-Printer.ps1
            $newWidth = $bmp.Width * 100 / $bmp.HorizontalResolution
            $newHeight = $bmp.height * 100 / $bmp.VerticalResolution

            $widthFactor = $newWidth / $EventArgs.PageSettings.PrintableArea.height
            $HeightFactor = $newHeight / $EventArgs.PageSettings.PrintableArea.Width

            $widthMargin = 0
            $heightMargin = 0

            if ($widthFactor -ge 1 -or $HeightFactor -ge 1) {
                if ($widthFactor -gt $HeightFactor) {
                    $newWidth = $newWidth / $widthFactor 
                    $newHeight = $newHeight / $widthFactor 

                }
                else {
                    $newWidth = $newWidth / $HeightFactor
                    $newHeight = $newHeight / $HeightFactor

                }               
            }

            $heightMargin = (($EventArgs.PageSettings.PrintableArea.Height - $newHeight) / 2) / 2

            $EventArgs.Graphics.DrawImage($bmp, ($EventArgs.PageSetting.HardMarginX + $widthMargin), ($EventArgs.PageSetting.HardMarginY + $heightMargin), $newWidth, $newHeight)
        }

        $endprint = {
            $bmp.Dispose()
        }

        Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $pd -EventName "PrintPage" -Action $action
        Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $pd -EventName "EndPrint" -Action $endprint

        $pd.Print()
    }
    Write-Host "Done!"

    Hi phuntsho, 

    Thank you for posting here.

    According to your description, your issue is more related to PowerShell. Therefore, it will be more appropriate to ask your question in PowerShell Forums.

    The CLR Forum discuss and ask questions about .NET Framework Base Classes (BCL) such as Collections, I/O, Regigistry, Globalization, Reflection. Also discuss all the other Microsoft libraries that are built on or extend the .NET Framework, including Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF), Charting Controls, CardSpace, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF), Point of Sale (POS), Transactions.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Best Regards,

    Xingyu Zhao
