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.
