Hello Mark,\
You can use this code:\
\
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); public Form1() {**pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(pd_PrintPage);****}** private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { int LeftMargin = e.MarginBounds.Left; bool MorePagesToPrint = false; int TmpWidth = 0; TopMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top; \
if (FirstPage) { foreach (DataGridViewColumn GridCol in dgvshow.Columns) {\
TmpWidth = (int)(Math.Floor((double)((double)GridCol.Width / (double)TotalWidth * (double)TotalWidth * ((double)e.MarginBounds.Width / (double)TotalWidth))));\
HeaderHeight = (int)(e.Graphics.MeasureString(GridCol.HeaderText, GridCol.InheritedStyle.Font, TmpWidth).Height) + 11;\
AColumnLefts.Add(LeftMargin); AColumnWidths.Add(TmpWidth); LeftMargin += TmpWidth; } } //MessageBox.Show(dgvshow.Rows.Count.ToString()); while (Row < dgvshow.Rows.Count) { //MessageBox.Show("Ok"); DataGridViewRow GridRow = dgvshow.Rows[Row]; CellHeight = GridRow.Height + 5; int Count = 0; //Check whether the current page settings allo more rows to print if (TopMargin + CellHeight >= e.MarginBounds.Height + e.MarginBounds.Top) { NewPage = true; FirstPage = false; MorePagesToPrint = true; break; } else { if (NewPage) {\
foreach (DataGridViewColumn GridCol in dgvshow.Columns) { e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.LightGray), new Rectangle((int)AColumnLefts[Count], TopMargin, (int)AColumnWidths[Count], HeaderHeight));\
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, new Rectangle((int)AColumnLefts[Count], TopMargin, (int)AColumnWidths[Count], HeaderHeight));\
e.Graphics.DrawString(GridCol.HeaderText, GridCol.InheritedStyle.Font, new SolidBrush(GridCol.InheritedStyle.ForeColor), new RectangleF((int)AColumnLefts[Count], TopMargin, (int)AColumnWidths[Count], HeaderHeight), strFormat); Count++; } NewPage = false; TopMargin += HeaderHeight; } Count = 0; //Draw Columns Contents \
foreach (DataGridViewCell Cel in GridRow.Cells) { if (Cel.Value != null) { e.Graphics.DrawString(Cel.Value.ToString(), Cel.InheritedStyle.Font, new SolidBrush(Cel.InheritedStyle.ForeColor), new RectangleF((int)AColumnLefts[Count], (float)TopMargin, (int)AColumnWidths[Count], (float)CellHeight), strFormat); } //Drawing Cells Borders e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, new Rectangle((int)AColumnLefts[Count], TopMargin, (int)AColumnWidths[Count], CellHeight));\
Count++; } } Row++; TopMargin += CellHeight; }\
//If more lines exist, print another page. if (MorePagesToPrint) e.HasMorePages = true; else e.HasMorePages = false; }\
\
\
private void btnprint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog(); printDialog.Document = pd; printDialog.UseEXDialog = true;\
if (DialogResult.OK == printDialog.ShowDialog()) { pd.DocumentName = "Page Title"; pd.Print(); }}\

Hi Mark,\
You can use this code:\

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)

{

Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height);

dataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(bm, new Rectangle(0, 0, this.dataGridView1.Width, this.dataGridView1.Height));

e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, 0, 0);

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

printDocument1.Print();

}
