Microsoft Expression Blend 3 or 4 or
Kaxaml 1.0How to installCreate a folder named "Addins" in Expression Blend directory and copy plug-in files to that folder.
Example:
If Expression Blend directory is located in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Blend 3\" then create "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Blend 3\Addins\" directory and copy files "Print.Blend.Addin", "Oxage.Printing.Blend.AddIn.dll" and "Oxage.Printing.Control.dll" into that directory. So the copied "Print.Blend.Addin" should be located as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Expression\Blend 3\Addins\Print.Blend.Addin".
How to use itWhen the plug-in is installed open Expression Blend, go to "Window" in menu and check the "Print" item. A panel named "Print" appears.
Open a xaml document in Expression Blend. Set properties in Print panel and click Print. Select a printing device and click OK.
