Silverlight - Print Text on second page

Hi,

I am refractoring some code and trying to print the contents of a text box on a second page. In the following code, I have created a user control "PrintPage" and tried to new up the user control and print the contents on a second page. Can you tell me how I can accomplish this? The Bold Code is what I added.

private void Printbutton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
         
            [b]_lineIndex = 0;
            _documentBodyLines = new List<string>();

            string[] lines = commentsTextBox.Text.Split(new[] { '\r' }, StringSplitOptions.None);
            _documentBodyLines.AddRange(lines);[/b]
            PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
            [b]pd.PrintPage += new EventHandler<PrintPageEventArgs>(printDocument_PrintPage);[/b]                                 
            pd.PrintPage += (s, args) =>
                {
                    this.CancelChangesButton.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
                    this.SubmitChangesButton.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
                    this.Print2.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
                  
                    this.FilterGrid.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
                   

                   
                    this.TimePrintedLbl.Content = "Printed: " + DateTime.Now.ToString();
                    args.PageVisual = this.Root2;
                   
                };
           
            pd.Print("frmForm_Pu_102_5v1 document");
            

            pd.EndPrint += (s, args) =>
                {
                    this.CancelChangesButton.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
                    this.SubmitChangesButton.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
                    this.Print2.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
                    this.FilterGrid.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
                    //this.supplierCertificationRadGridView.ShowInsertRow = true;
                    // this.FilterGrid.Height = FltGrdHeight;
                    this.TimePrintedLbl.Content = "";
                };
        }

           [b] void printDocument_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
            {
                PrintPage page = new PrintPage();
                int numberOfLinesAdded = 0;
                while(_lineIndex < _documentBodyLines.Count)
                {
                    page.AddLine(_documentBodyLines[_lineIndex]);
                    page.Measure(new Size(e.PrintableArea.Width, double.PositiveInfinity));
                    if (page.DesiredSize.Height > e.PrintableArea.Height
                        && numberOfLinesAdded > 0)
                    {
                        page.RemoveLastLine();
                        e.HasMorePages = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    _lineIndex++;
                    numberOfLinesAdded++;
                }
                e.PageVisual = page;[/b]            }

Why "pd.PrintPage" event is assigned two times in the begining?

I assisgned the following event handler in an attempt to use it to help print the text that is in the comments box on the second page:

[b]pd.PrintPage += new EventHandler<PrintPageEventArgs>(printDocument_PrintPage);[/b]

This code is being used to try and print the second page:

 void printDocument_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
            {
                PrintPage page = new PrintPage();
                int numberOfLinesAdded = 0;
                while(_lineIndex < _documentBodyLines.Count)
                {
                    page.AddLine(_documentBodyLines[_lineIndex]);
                    page.Measure(new Size(e.PrintableArea.Width, double.PositiveInfinity));
                    if (page.DesiredSize.Height > e.PrintableArea.Height
                        && numberOfLinesAdded > 0)
                    {
                        page.RemoveLastLine();
                        e.HasMorePages = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    _lineIndex++;
                    numberOfLinesAdded++;
                }
                e.PageVisual = page;
