Print gridview with many column headers in asp.net

Hello all..

I have many gridviews with many column headers at each gridview.
Example one of my gridviews is:

MC | OP | QC  | DATE | 1/7 | 2/7 | 3/7 | 4/7 | 5/7 | 6/7 | .............. | 31/7 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102| A  | B   |      |  0  |  0  |  0  |  0  |  0  |  3  | .............. |  5   |

I want to print all data in the gridview into 1 A3 paper (Landscape). In aspx, I put the gridview inside a panel with scrollbars.
After removing the panel and scrollbars, the gridview width increases and after printing, not all the data will be printed. It only limits until A3 landscape size and cut the remaining content which is outside printing area.

My idea is to insert break if the gridview column is outside of the panel printing area.
How to do so?

MC | OP | QC  | DATE | 1/7 | 2/7 | 3/7 | 4/7 | 5/7 | 6/7 |  7/7 | 8/7 | 9/7 | 10/7|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102| A  | B   |      |  0  |  0  |  0  |  0  |  0  |  3  |   1  |  0  |  2  |  1  |

11/7 | 12/7 | 13/7 | 14/7| 15/7 | 16/7 | 17/7 | 18/7 | 19/7 | 20/7 |  21/7 | 22/7 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  |  2   |  0   |  0  |  0   |  0   |  0   |  0   |  0   |  3   |   1   |  0   |

Thanks

what width you have given to gridview if you give 100% then it should automatically adjust but if you give fixed then your headers should be cutoff while printing.......

if I set width 100%, and it automatically resize the gridview to fit the paper. But the gridview data sometimes cannot be read. Some of my gridviews have more column header. For example, for each date, I split the header into 6 time. (8am, 12 pm, 4 pm, 8 pm, 12 am,4 am).
So for a gridview with 31 days, it will become 31 x 6 = 186++ column headers.

I have tried the code before. But my gridview has many column headers. See my updated question for the sample of inserting break in gridview.
