How to print C# code with coverage annotation in VS2010

I wonder if/how I can print any C# editor content with annotated coverage background color?

VS2010 ceased to even provide syntax highlighted printing. This was later added by means of a VS extension (see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2018079c-4896-45b2-affd-6620483c88e6/printing-source-code-with-syntax-coloring?forum=vcprerelease[^]).

It seems nobody was interested to print annotated code, though. No such functionality found in VS2010 and no trace of such a request found on the internet neither.

Any trick/hint/tool available to fill that gap?

Cheers
Andi

Why to print code at all? Is there any wellgrounded reason?

Some people need to document their decisions.
Not everyone likes to stare at the screen ;-)

Ok! I thought that no one want to do that now ;)

Well, some industries need documented evidence of some kind ;-) And they need to be available on paper at least on request...
And not to forget my personal preferences: I'm an old fart who prefers very much reading/reviewing on paper than by staring at the screen...;-)

I think the only way you're going to get that is if you write the extension to do it. I can't find one nor can I find a hint of the existence of one.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for your feedback!
I might check how much effort it is to write a VS2010 editor extension to also print adornments. Maybe it's not so much effort...?
