Hi Aswathi,
If you want to print bill you can use Microsoft Reports.
but if you want to print Form then it is very easy.
Go to ToolBox of visual Studio
>Visual Basic Power Packs
>Drag PrintForm component to the form
>On button click event write the code

C#

this.printForm1.Print();

While you can use a Printform component as Uma Shankar Patel suggests, it may not be the best solution - look at using a PrintDocument[^] class instead. The advantage is that it is document oriented, rather than display / GUI oriented which means you get better control over exactly how your bill prints, and normally much better quality. It is a little more complex to use, but not a lot, and the link provides a simple example.
