在C#中使用PrintDialog可以很方便的实现程序的打印功能。

其步骤如下：

创建一个PrintDialog的实例。如下：
System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog PrintDialog1=new PrintDialog ();
创建一个PrintDocument的实例.如下：
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument docToPrint =
new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
设置打印机开始打印的事件处理函数.函数原形如下：
void docToPrint_PrintPage(object sender,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
将事件处理函数添加到PrintDocument的PrintPage事件中。
docToPrint.PrintPage+=new PrintPageEventHandler(docToPrint_PrintPage);
设置PrintDocument的相关属性，如：
PrintDialog1.AllowSomePages = true;PrintDialog1.ShowHelp = true;
把PrintDialog的Document属性设为上面配置好的PrintDocument的实例：
PrintDialog1.Document = docToPrint;
调用PrintDialog的ShowDialog函数显示打印对话框：
DialogResult result = PrintDialog1.ShowDialog();
根据用户的选择，开始打印：
if (result==DialogResult.OK)
{
docToPrint.Print();
}

例子如下：

使用时先创建PrintService类的实例，然后调用void StartPrint(Stream streamToPrint,string streamType)函数开始打印。其中streamToPrint是要打印的内容（字节流），streamType是流的类型（txt表示普通文本，image表示图像）；
