  Hello,

  You can use the PrinterSettings property of SystemPrinter class. You can learn about the same from here:
  
  https://help.grapecity.com/activereports/webhelp/AR13/webframe.html#GrapeCity.ActiveReports~GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SystemPrinter~PrinterSettings.html

  Also, you can use the Graphics object of SystemPrinter to return hDC in the PrintPage event, as follows:

  GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SystemPrinter my_printer = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.SystemPrinter();
  IntPtr pt = my_printer.Graphics.GetHdc();
  ...
  my_printer.Graphics.ReleaseHdc(pt);
  

  Regards,
