    To print a report directly to the printer, use the C1Report.Document property. This property returns a standard PrintDocument object that has a Print method and exposes printer and page settings.

    For example, the following code shows a print dialog and prints the report:

    To write code in Visual Basic

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code 
    ' Load report definition
c1r.Load(reportFile, reportName)
 
' Get PrintDocument object
PrintDocument doc = c1r
 
' Show a PrintDialog so user can customize the printing
Dim pd As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog()
 
' Use PrinterSettings in report document
pd.PrinterSettings = doc.PrinterSettings
 
' Show the dialog and print the report
If pd.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
       doc.Print()
End If
 
' Cleanup and release PrintDialog resources
pd.Dispose()

    To write code in C#

    C#
    Copy Code 
    // Load report definition
c1r.Load(reportFile, reportName);
 
// Get PrintDocument object
PrintDocument doc = c1r;
 
// Show a PrintDialog so user can customize the printing
PrintDialog pd = new PrintDialog();
 
// Use PrinterSettings in report document
pd.PrinterSettings = doc.PrinterSettings;
 
// Show the dialog and print the report
if (pd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
doc.Print();
 
// Cleanup and release PrintDialog resources
pd.Dispose();
