Can a WinForm render itself on a printer?

[Jack]

We are moving some of our existing mainframe CICS screens to WinForms. The
user is used to being able to print these screens in order to capture
information and is asking for a similar capability with the WinForm
application.

Is there some way to send a WinForm to the printer?

I would not do it that way (instead I would write custom printing code),
but have a look at this code:

Thanks for the lead. Because the application consists of hundreds of forms,
it is important to make the rendering capability as generic as possible.

Still be careful that the output looks good.
