Print to where? To a screen or to a printer? Please read the forum guidelines and rephrase your question.

It's not your ability to program or the fact that the question may be stupid. The problem is your ability to communicate a complete idea so someone can figure out exactly what you're talking about.

Printing on-screen and sending to the printer are very similar. You need to use the System.Drawing namespace, in particular the Graphics class. Then hook a PrintDocument's main event (can't remember the name) and paint onto the page. Don't forget to take the page settings into account. :)

It sounds like you need to write a report. I'd suggest that you read up on this using Google.
