Answer 1

Using the PrintDocument class you can print anything to any valid windows printer. (Including XPS Document Writer, or things like CutePDF, and thermal label/receipt printers)

The example on this page should get you started:

Answer 3

Print document is apart of that version. In a button click event, try to create an instance of the PrintDocument class. You'll probably need to add a reference to System.Drawing or System.Drawing.Printing (if it exists)

Answer 5

"How can i print on handheld printer(A8 size paper)"

How are you setting the PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize?

After you set the paper size, what problems do you have?

Answer 6

Yeah, I've written stuff in the past which prints to statement paper (Half of a sheet of 8.5x11) and duplexed, all with the PrintDocument class. Can you post up your print code maybe?
