This example shows how to print a report on a dot matrix printer. First, the report is exported to CSV format and saved to a temporary file in the current application directory. Then the Process.Start method initiates the printing process. In this example, the verb "Print" is assigned to the ProcessStartInfo.Verb property of the ProcessStartInfo instance passed to the Process.Start method.
