Well as much as I have learned about printing in C# it´s not the easiest task at least I had to draw my form again for printing. The only advise I can give you for easier printing is to use a screenshot if this id possible for you. Here´s an example simply call the method from your print method: [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImportAttribute(gdi32.dll)] private static extern bool BitBlt( IntPtr hdcDest // handle to destination DC int nXDest // x-coord of destination upper-left corner int nYDest // y-coord of destination upper-left corner int nWidth // width of destination rectangle int nHeight // height of destination rectangle IntPtr hdcSrc // handle to source DC int nXSrc // x-coordinate of source upper-left corner int nYSrc // y-coordinate of source upper-left corner System.Int32 dwRop // raster operation code ); /// /// prepares image for printing as screenshot /// private void prepareImage() { Graphics graphic = this.CreateGraphics(); Size s = this.Size; myImage = new Bitmap(s.Width s.Height graphic); Graphics memGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(myImage); IntPtr dc1 = graphic.GetHdc(); IntPtr dc2 = memGraphic.GetHdc(); BitBlt(dc2 0 0 this.ClientRectangle.Width this.ClientRectangle.Height dc1 0 0 13369376); graphic.ReleaseHdc(dc1); memGraphic.ReleaseHdc(dc2); } I hope this can help you a little else I don´t know about an easy way to print.
