thanks for reply, the link which you mentioned, that link only uses window.print().
that does not work like the IE print preview, I think i should go for ActiveX like code to provide same functionality as IE7,8, and 9.

Hey! Following code might help you out.

C#

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)

{

           e.Graphics.DrawString(richTextBox1.Text, richTextBox1.Font, Brushes.Black, 100, 20);

           e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Inch;

}



Step2:  write code for printing and print preview.



private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

            //PrintDialog associate with PrintDocument;

            printDialog1.Document = printDocument1;



            if (printDialog1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)

            {

                printDocument1.Print();

            }

}



private void btnPrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

            //Associate PrintPreviewDialog with PrintDocument.

            printPreviewDialog1.Document = printDocument1;



            // Show PrintPreview Dialog

            printPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog();

}
