I'm having trouble when trying to print a form that is bigger than the
paper size. I would like the program to programmacitly scale to fit to
paper size and send the drawing to the printer. Any idea?
 
You should be able to grab a screen shot of the form or use interop and the
PrintWindow API to get a bitmap of the form and then use my technique for
image scaling while retaining the aspect ratio to print the form on the
paper.

See the various articles in the GDI+ FAQ for details.
