Why PictireBox? You already use Graphics.DrawImage, do the same in your window.

You did not show the code of the form, or the print preview. If you want to use PictureBox, use it (this is the rare case when it would make full sense). I don't see why it could possibly be a problem.

However, if you want print preview close to the print, use the same thing as you already do in the print page, you should override the virtual method System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaint or handle the event System.Windows.Forms.Control.Paint. The instance of System.Drawing.Graphics will be passed to you in the event arguments, and you can draw the images, the same way you already do.

Practically, abstract the rendering from media (screen, print, bitmap) by writing a separate method which accepts the same event arguments. Then you can call this method from different places: print page rendering, paint handler (on screen), draw on a bitmap, etc.
