Service not printing on windows 10

[SaadYasir]

when running it as service on windows 10. it doesn't print anything. but when debugging it in visual studio it works well

Does it work when you run it from the console (start the exe with the flag --console) ?

If it runs as a service, the user the service runs under must have printers installed (Windows links printers to users IIRC). It can help to use a service account instead of Network Service or Local System.

Yes it works when running as console application but it is not working while running as a service ,,, according to the microsoft docs the PrintDocument is based on WinForms and i think windows service dont have the rights to print documents

Is any solution found about this issue?
Printing from service is not possible. Any workaround for this problem?

Yes. You are right. It can print from service.
I was trying to print from service on printer that was redirected through remote desktop.
In that case it prints only when started with Visual Studio.
But when I used local network printer it prints well from service too.
