How are you persisting PrinterSettings??

Is there an easy of persisting printer settings???

Most of the PrinterSettings and related objects are not marked a
serializable so they can not be serialized with an application.

So far what I am doing is wrapping all the properties for these objects in
Objects that are Serializable so I can persist the new objects with an
application file and then I recreate the PrinterSettings and Related objects
from the new objects when printing is requested.

Is there an easier way to do this??

Hello Mike,
I have ran into this as well. I think it is better to implement your own serialization, it would be more effecient . Depending on what will need to read the settings, you could chose to use binary ser. for better performance over xml. As far as an easier way, no I don't think so.

Best of luck!

Thanks for the Reply....

I have pretty much finished it now, and I am using binary Serialization to
save every thing. Just seemed like a lot of work and I figured there should
have been an easier way.
