PrintController printController = new StandardPrintController();
document.PrintController = printController;
document.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(document_PrintPage);
PrintPreviewDialog ppDialog = new PrintPreviewDialog();
((ToolStripButton)((ToolStrip)ppDialog.Controls[1]).Items[0]).Enabled = false;
ppDialog.Document = document;
ppDialog.Show();
}

datatable get checked
public DataTable GetChecked()
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("MemberCode", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("SpecialCode", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("MemberImage", typeof(Byte[]));
for (int i = 0; i < dtDisplayDataPayment.Rows.Count; i++)
{
bool Ischecked = Convert.ToBoolean(GridFooter.Rows[i].Cells["PrintFlag"].Value);
if (Ischecked == true)
{
DataRow newRow = table.NewRow();
newRow["MemberCode"] = Utilities.ObjectConverter.ConvertToString(dtDisplayDataPayment.Rows[i]["MemberCode"]);

Image img = (Image)converter.ConvertFrom(photo_aray);
newRow["MemberImage"] = imageToByteArray(img);
}
table.Rows.Add(newRow);
}
}
return table;
}
void document_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)

You can then use RDLC or crystal report or flow document (wpf) for preview purpose and if user wishes they can print it. Print page event will print directly to printer without previewing the dialog.
