Hi, if you were referring to MS Word, it uses a C# word interop to manipulate with a content and to print it.For your WPF application you need to use System.Printing namespace and its classes like PrintQueue and PrintTicket. You can read about it on MSDN Printing Overview.

Hi!Im not sure if this is what you want but,and 
What you have to do is create a dummy form that's the size of the control you want to print then add the control to the dummy form and show the form and print the control on the dummy.and 
Here is how i did it:and 
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e){and and and  //Create bitmapand and and  Bitmap image = new Bitmap(dataGridView1.Width, dataGridView1.Height);and and and  //Create formand and and  Form f = new Form();and and and  //add datagridview to the formand and and  f.Controls.Add(dataGridView1);and and and  //set the size of the form to the size of the datagridviewand and and  f.Size = dataGridView1.Size;and and and  //draw the datagridview to the bitmapand and and  dataGridView1.DrawToBitmap(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, dataGridView1.Width, dataGridView1.Height));and and and  //dispose the formand and and  f.Dispose();and and and  //printand and and  e.Graphics.DrawImage(image, 0, 0);}
This will print dataGridView1, even if its not seen on the form.
