In this article, we’re going introduce how to send a PowerPoint document to a network connected printer or a virtual printer by using Spire.Prensetaion for Java. Spire provides the PresentationPrintDocument class to control how a PowerPoint presentation is printed, for example, print in grayscale, set the print range and copies. The following code snippets demonstrates the same.
Installing Spire.Presentation.jar
If you create a Maven project, you can easily import the jar in your application using the following configurations. For non-Maven projects, download the jar file from this link and add it as a dependency in your application.

Example 1. Print with network connected printer
import com.spire.ms.Printing.PrinterSettings;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;
import com.spire.presentation.PresentationPrintDocument;
public class PrintPowerPointFile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a Presentation object
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load the PowerPoint document
presentation.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.pptx");
//Create a PresentationPrintDocument object
PresentationPrintDocument printDocument = new PresentationPrintDocument(presentation);
//Print the slide with Grayscale
printDocument.setGrayLevelForPrint(true);
//Get the printer settings
PrinterSettings printerSettings = printDocument.getPrinterSettings();
//Set print range
printerSettings.setFromPage(1);
printerSettings.setToPage(4);
//Set printer name
printerSettings.setPrinterName("HP ColorLaserJet MFP M278-M281 PCL-6 (V4)");
//Set print copy
printerSettings.setCopies((short)1);
//Call print method to print the selected pages
printDocument.print();
presentation.dispose();
}
}
Example 2. Print with virtual printer
import com.spire.ms.Printing.PrinterSettings;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;
import com.spire.presentation.PresentationPrintDocument;
public class PrintToDocument {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a Presentation object
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Load the PowerPoint document
presentation.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.pptx");
//Create a PresentationPrintDocument object
PresentationPrintDocument printDocument = new PresentationPrintDocument(presentation);
//Get the printer settings
PrinterSettings printerSettings = printDocument.getPrinterSettings();
//Set printer name
printerSettings.setPrinterName("Microsoft Print to PDF");
printerSettings.setPrintToFile(true);
printerSettings.setPrintFileName("out/PrintToPdf.pdf");
printDocument.print();
presentation.dispose();
}
}
