how to print docx file from C# without using interop word

SIVAPRAKASH Subramanian

Since interop word is not recommended use at server. I'm using open XML to modify word document, but I'm not able to print from Open XML. Is there any way to print word document from C# code without using interop word?

I know that this is an older post, but I just wanted to leave this answer here in case others are looking for a solution as well. The original author mentions that they want to edit DOCX files and print them without using word interop. For this use-case you can use the LEADTOOLS Document SDK to edit document files and print them to a physical or virtual printer.

You can leverage the LEADDocument and PrintDocument classes, to print any LEADTOOLS supported file format (i.e. DOCX) to an installed printer. See the tutorial in the link below for some sample code on how to do so.

Use the ProcessStartInfo class and use print as its verb.
