What is it you're trying to print? &nbsp;If it's a PDF, or text file it's usually <i>much</i> easier to use System.Diagnostics.Process<wbr /> to start Adobe Reader or Notepad and give command line switches to print - though you'll lose some control over the print dialog (actually, printing plain text isn't terribly difficult, but just about anything else will be a bit of a pain in the butt).

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
