Answer 1

You can do it by customizing the print settings of the GridView. To do this BaseView.PrintInitialize event is handled and there you are able to get the PrintingSystem associated with the gridview.

private void btnPrintPreview_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Check whether the GridControl can be previewed.
    if (!gridControl1.IsPrintingAvailable)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The 'DevExpress.XtraPrinting' library is not found", "Error");
        return;
    }
   

    // Open the Preview window.
    gridControl1.ShowPrintPreview();
}       

private void gridView1_PrintInitialize(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.PrintInitializeEventArgs e)
{
    PrintingSystemBase pb = e.PrintingSystem as PrintingSystemBase;            
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendPdf, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendTxt, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendRtf, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendXls, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendMht, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendXlsx, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendCsv, CommandVisibility.None);
    pb.SetCommandVisibility(PrintingSystemCommand.SendGraphic, CommandVisibility.None);
}

After disabling these command "SendTo" button get disabled.

Will this (or version with "Ribbon") suit your needs? I think you will need to do it in different way than calling:

gridView1.ShowPrintPreview();

Try with setting Document Source of DocumentViewer like is shown here. Hope it will work with grid's data.
