// Create an Application object

                    Word.ApplicationClass ac = new Word.ApplicationClass();
                    Word._Application app = ac.Application;
 
                    // I'm setting all of the alerts to be off as I am trying to get
                    // this to print in the background
                    app.DisplayAlerts = Word.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
 
                    // Open the document to print...
                    object filename = @"L:\RESEARCH\thesis9999\print.dotx";
                    object missingValue = Type.Missing;
 
                    // Using OpenOld so as to be compatible with other versions of Word
                    Word.Document document = app.Documents.OpenOld(ref filename,
                    ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
                    ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
                    ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue);
 
                    // Set the active printer
                    //app.ActivePrinter = "HP Deskjet D2600 series";
                    app.ActivePrinter = "USB001";
                    object myTrue = true; // Print in background
                    object myFalse = false;
 
                    //Using PrintOutOld to be version independent
                    app.ActiveDocument.PrintOutOld(ref myTrue,
                            ref myFalse, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue,
                            missingValue, ref missingValue,
                            ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref myFalse,
                            ref missingValue, ref missingValue);
 
 
                    app.Documents.Close(ref missingValue, ref missingValue, ref missingValue);
 
                    // Make sure all of the documents are gone from the queue
                    while (app.BackgroundPrintingStatus > 0)
                    {

From MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.71).aspx

The example code replaces the existing event handlers. The form is printed when printButton is clicked.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
public static extern long BitBlt (IntPtr hdcDest, int nXDest, int nYDest, int nWidth, int nHeight, IntPtr hdcSrc, int nXSrc, int nYSrc, int dwRop);
private Bitmap memoryImage;
private void CaptureScreen()
{
   Graphics mygraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
   Size s = this.Size;
   memoryImage = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height, mygraphics);
   Graphics memoryGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(memoryImage);
   IntPtr dc1 = mygraphics.GetHdc();
   IntPtr dc2 = memoryGraphics.GetHdc();
   BitBlt(dc2, 0, 0, this.ClientRectangle.Width, this.ClientRectangle.Height, dc1, 0, 0, 13369376);
   mygraphics.ReleaseHdc(dc1);
   memoryGraphics.ReleaseHdc(dc2);
}
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(System.Object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
   e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 0, 0);
}
private void printButton_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   CaptureScreen();
   printDocument1.Print();
}

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

A PrintDocument component named printDocument1 with a PrintPage event handler.
A Button named printButton with a Click event handler.
