Hi Mustafa_it,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

How to print the data of datagridview is a FAQ. And you can find lots of information in MSDN forum.

In general, there are two solutions:

1. Using the print the function or class provide by .Net.

You can print out the form with your datagridview using Print Form powerpack: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vbpowerpacks/thread/ee619ae3-a437-46b6-9045-b2848e40e20a/

If you want to print the contents in datagridview, the printdocuments class can be the one you are looking for: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printdocument.aspx

2. Another solution is exporting the data into EXCEL or Word, and use the print function form Office, here is also a sample:  http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vblanguage/thread/388f5779-3f4c-4b49-940c-e02e2eb62af2

By the way, here also some project samples for printing datagridview.

Printing a DataGridView on DotNet Framework: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/25638/Printing-a-DataGridView-on-DotNet-Framework

Another DataGridView Printer: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18042/Another-DataGridView-Printer
