I dont know your exact requirement ,but if you want a print preview for your Page then the most simplest solution is to write a Javascript as below

i dont remember from where i found the below Javascript it was quite a long time , but it has always worked wondoers for me

XML

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

        function PrintContent() {
            printWindow = window.open("", "mywindow", "height=650,width=999,scrollTo,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,location=1");
            var strContent = "<html><head>"; // If you use this script inside <head> on the page, there might be error. So I am keeping inside body (becaue of <head>)
            strContent = strContent + "<title>Print Preview</title>";
            strContent = strContent + "<link href='../../App_Themes/Default/Page.css' type='text/css' rel='Stylesheet' />";
            strContent = strContent + "</head>";
            strContent = strContent + "<body>";
            strContent = strContent + "<div style='width:100%;text-align:left;'>";
            strContent = strContent + "<img alt='Imageid' src='../../Images/Logo.jpg' />";
            strContent = strContent + "</div>";
            strContent = strContent + "<div style='width:95%;text-align:right;'>";
            strContent = strContent + "<img alt='PrintID' title='Print' class='PrintIcon'  src='../../Images/printicon.jpg' onclick='window.print()' />";
            strContent = strContent + "</div>";
            strContent = strContent + "<div style='width:100%;'>";
            strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('PrintArea').innerHTML;
            strContent = strContent + "</div>";
            strContent = strContent + "</body>";
            printWindow.document.write(strContent);
            printWindow.document.close();
            printWindow.focus();
            return false;
        }
    </script>

Once you done with javascript ,you will see the line inside a Javscript as below

C#

strContent = strContent + document.getElementById(&#39;PrintArea&#39;).innerHTML;

the PrintArea is the one which you need to print , so all the content of page which need to be printed should come under Print Area

if you have multiple area you can write as per below

C#

strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('printHeader').innerHTML;
strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('printTitle').innerHTML;
strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('divApplcicationStatus').innerHTML;
strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('Print5').innerHTML;
strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('Print1').innerHTML;
strContent = strContent + document.getElementById('Print2').innerHTML;

amd then in your button on which click you want to load a print preview you do following

XML

<asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" CssClass="button" Text="Print" OnClientClick="return PrintContent();" /></td>
          <td style="width: 10%">
