  Isn't there a printpage dialog in the toolbox
  Try it.
  How more you try, how better you get

  You can draw the panel into a bitmap, then draw the bitmap onto the paper. Something like this:
  
  Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
  Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Panel1.Width, Panel1.Height)
  Panel1.DrawToBitmap(bmp, New Rectangle(0, 0, Panel1.Width, Panel1.Height))
  e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0)
  End Sub

  Keep in mind the DrawToBitmap function has some caveats. Caveats that become an issue with container controls like Panels. See DrawToBitmap z-Order issue.

  This is off topic for the Visual C# General forum, moving to the Windows Forms General forum.

  Here is another example.

  DllImport("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 ); private const Int32 SRCCOPY = 0xCC0020; private Bitmap memImage; private void PrepareImage() { Graphics graphic = this.CreateGraphics(); Size s = this.Size; memImage = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, graphic); Graphics memGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(memImage); IntPtr dc1 = graphic.GetHdc(); IntPtr dc2 = memGraphic.GetHdc(); BitBlt(dc2, 0, 0, this.ClientRectangle.Width, this.ClientRectangle.Height,dc1, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); graphic.ReleaseHdc(dc1); memGraphic.ReleaseHdc(dc2); } private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { PrepareImage(); printDocument1.Print(); } private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e) { e.Graphics.DrawImage(memImage,0,0); }
