Did you stop and think for a second that maybe, just maybe, printing 20000 documents might be a tad excessive and a really, really, really bad idea in the first place?

ok i know but its the same when number will be 1000 or more

One thing I want to point here is that there is a separate http hit from browser to the server for retrieving every image referred in web page.
So in your case once your page is loaded browser will make 20000 hits to the server for reverting all the images and that might be the reason your page is getting hanged.

one more suggestion add check box column to your datagrid and
onclick of print all button check the numbers of rows in gridview if they are say less than 200 then print all rows images else show message to user “can not print more than 200 rows please select rows for print".
OR
You can take input from user for the range of rows user wants to print.

I can't say why the website is hanged but in the scenario where you are printing all the documents (which may be 20,000 for now but more in future) then why don't you get the list of all those documents in the Print page from the database? I don't think it is a good idea to transfer that much big number of records from one page to another. Also, I think the issue could be in your Printing page. Just put a break point in that page and start debugging carefully; you will get to know the problem yourself.
