Print, PrintPreview, and PageSetup are a set of print methods. You can use them to implement the print function. The System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog, System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog, and System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog allow the user to set print settings. The System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings of System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog are shared for these methods.
You can change the PrintSettings property value to adjust the print effect.
