This is my code for previewing and printing the contents of my datagridview. I tried using the DefaultPageSettings code but it doesn't work. Im also trying to print it in centered format
Try setting the DefaultPageSettings property of the PrintDocument, not PrinterSettings:
'PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
