First add a using System.IO; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Printing; to the head of your project Then define the stream to be printed Open the tool box and add under the Printing tab select a printDocument then add it into your project it iwill be named printDocument1 by default. then define new stram reader StreamReader streamToBePrinted; then Add a button to your project and implement his event handler as follow private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { /* You can overload the constructor here by two way if you have the stream witihn you application then overload it with stream the stream to be printed is some where in your hard drive or in the local * network then over load with the the file path */ string FilePath = @C:\.....; streamToBePrinted = new StreamReader(FilePath); printDocument1.PrintPage +=new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventHandler(printDocument1_PrintPage); printDocument1.Print(); } then add a new event handler to the PrintPage event of the printDocument s follow private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) { int MaxLinesPerPage = 10; //You can modify it to fit your needs int i=0; while (i { e.Graphics.DrawString(streamToBePrinted.ReadLine() new Font(new FontFamily(Time New Roman) FontStyle.Bold) null new Point(e.MarginBounds.Top e.MarginBounds.Left)); i++; } if (streamToBePrinted.ReadLine() != null) { e.HasMorePages = true; } if (streamToBePrinted.ReadLine() == null) { e.HasMorePages = false; streamToBePrinted.Close(); } } try this as a first step
