The type or namespace name 'PrintDocument' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I had an old Windows Form App with this code:

public static void PrintTheNumber(int numberOfLabels, string toPrint)
{
    PrintDocument p = new PrintDocument();
    p.PrintPage += delegate (object sender1, PrintPageEventArgs e1)
    {
        e1.Graphics.DrawString(toPrint, new Font("Times New Roman", 12),
            new SolidBrush(Color.Black),
            new RectangleF(0, 0, p.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Width, p.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Height));
    };

    try
    {
        p.PrinterSettings.Copies = (short)numberOfLabels;
        p.Print();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw new Exception("Printer error!");
    }
}

And now I am converting it to WPF and I get exactly this error from my question.

I am stuck and don't know how to print now with WPF. If anyone could explain it to me what is the problem?

I just want to print a string on a click of a button.

See the documentation.

That class is defined in System.Drawing.dll; you need to add a reference to that assembly (and include the namespace).

enter image description here enter image description here

And then you can just import it at the top of your class like this:

using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
