In the PrintDocument PrintPage event handler, use the PrintPageEventArgs.Graphics object:

private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) 
   {      
   // Draw a picture.
   e.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile(@"F:\Temp\MyPicture.bmp"), e.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds);
   e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, myRectangle);
   e.Graphics.DrawString("Hello!", myFont, myBrush, myPoint);
   e.HasMorePages = false;  //Last page
   }

[edit]Strange - the close bracket would not stay where I put it... - OriginalGriff[/edit]

Solution 2

This Drawing Lines and Shapes with GDI+[^] should get you started. You just need to add put these methods into effect in the PrintDocument.PrintPage() event, and you should be printing in no time.

Happy Coding

The PrintDocument.Print method is an instruction to the PrintDocument to start printing, and not something you can draw in! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.print(v=VS.85).aspx contains a full example...

Sorry, you're right, I meant the PrintPage event. Fixed it.
