Is there a way to print my data instead of PrintForm?

[eqiz]

I'm looking for a way to print stuff from my program. I have searched and searched for a way to print and the only thing I have found is PrintFORM which only takes a picture of the form and prints it in image quality which is really really bad quality.

Is there any way to print the text off my form the way it looks and everything? Like how PrintForm prints but instead printing the text in "text quality" and the images in image quality?

Im writing a program that has textboxes over an image and I need to be able to print it with high quality so the text isn't blurred or anything. Like when you print a HTML page etc.. The images are in image quality but the text is very clear etc.. Hopefully you guys know what I am trying to say.


More Information:

I just want to be able to print like Notepad/Word prints.. You can insert an image and have text and everything and the text prints out in fine quality but the image just prints in a decent quality depending on your printer.. I dont care about the image quality as much as i do the text.

I've tried making it into a webpage then printing but i cant print the background image of a webpage..

I've tried messing around with Infopath but it doesn't seem like it does anything i can use.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Or if you know of any other way i should do this program let me know.. Like if anyone knows how to make it so i can actually Print just the text but be able to format the text in a specific way so when it prints out it prints in the area i want on a piece of paper that already has stuff on it.

Have you looked at the PrintDocument class? That with the Begin Print, Print Page and End Print events will do what you need for positioning, although it might take some math to get you there, and some trial and error to get the printing in the right spot.

Here are some resources, but I'm sure there are better ones out there

I haven't worked with the PrintDocument class in a while (about 2 1/2 years I think), I remember thinking it was a heck of a lot of work to get things right, so that might not be what you need.

If you break up the image you need to print out into parts around the textboxes I think PrintDocument will let you print those out too, which is a bit less of a kludge then some of the things you were suggesting. I'm looking forward to what everyone else thinks, and good luck.
