I am trying to use printform for the below. It is cutting off at the bottom. I have no margins around the border. Form is big enough to see the below.

VB

Me.PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = New System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0)
       Me.PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = False
       Me.PrintForm1.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
       Me.PrintForm1.Print()

What I have tried:

Not really sure what to try. Form Height is Max size and margin cant get any smaller.

Change "something" if you want to see what works when. Then make notes. Or "print to PDF" first if you need some sort of confirmation.

Basically, don't use PrintForm: if you want to print a document use the PrintDocument Class (System.Drawing.Printing) | Microsoft Docs[^] instead. It takes a bit more work, but it produces much better results and gives you full control over what is printed and where.

PrintForm is "legacy code" which is intended to let older VB code work without conversion and rarely does much that is useful in the real world.
