This way you can find a row using some criteria, for example you can find your first checked row:

var firstCheckedRow = this.myDataGridView.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>()
                          .Where(row => (bool?)row.Cells["MyCheckBoxColumn"].Value == true)
                          .FirstOrDefault();

This way you can get value of all cells of a row, for example you can put theme together in a string in different lines:

var builder = new StringBuilder();
firstCheckedRow.Cells.Cast<DataGridViewCell>()
               .ToList().ForEach(cell =>
               {
                   builder.AppendLine(string.Format("{0}", cell.Value));
               });

Then you can for example show them:

MessageBox.Show(builder.ToString());

Or even you can put a PrintDocument on your form and handle PrintPage event to print them to printer. You also should put a Button on form and in click event of button, call PrintDocument1.Print();

Code:

private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    PrintDocument1.Print();
}

PrintDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
    var firstCheckedRow = this.myDataGridView.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>()
                              .Where(row => (bool?)row.Cells["MyCheckBoxColumn"].Value == true)
                              .FirstOrDefault();
    var builder = new StringBuilder();
    firstCheckedRow.Cells.Cast<DataGridViewCell>()
                   .ToList().ForEach(cell =>
                   {
                       builder.AppendLine(string.Format("{0}", cell.Value));
                   });

    e.Graphics.DrawString(builder.ToString(),
               this.myDataGridView.Font,
               new SolidBrush(this.myDataGridView.ForeColor),
               new RectangleF(0, 0, p.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Width, p.DefaultPageSettings.PrintableArea.Height));
}
