You can make a new printable page version, which doesn't include a header. This version can also have the layout you need.

I know that question has been asked a long time ago, however there is no accepted suggestion. So here my approach for friendly print version when using Master page.

  1. Create an empty master page (PrintVersion.Master) to serv as print version. Add what ever you need to be print (like logos) if anything to that master page.
  2. from your content page, add a print link with target blank. Make the href to load the current page. From the href add a querystring so you can capture it from your content page preinit event.
  3. From your content page preinit event detect if the querystring to print exists, then specify the blank master page like: MasterPageFile = "~/Ful/Path/of/your/PrintVersion.Master"
  4. Optional, on the PrintVersion.Master on document.ready call: window.print(); The browser print dialog will automatically open.

Put the content inside <div id="divid">YOUR CONTENT NEEDS TO BE PRINTED</div>

Then call the javascript function on button click which will print the selected area or only html of div. pass the id of div on calling javascript function.

function CallPrint(var strid)
{

var prtContent = document.getElementById(strid);
var WinPrint = window.open('','','letf=10,top=10,width="450",height="250",toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,status=0');

WinPrint.document.write("<html><head><LINK rel=\"stylesheet\" type\"text/css\" href=\"css/print.css\" media=\"print\"><LINK rel=\"stylesheet\" type\"text/css\" href=\"css/print.css\" media=\"screen\"></head><body>");

WinPrint.document.write(prtContent.innerHTML);
WinPrint.document.write("</body></html>");
WinPrint.document.close();
WinPrint.focus();
WinPrint.print();
WinPrint.close();

return false;
}

Call CallPrint('DivGrid');" on onclick() of button or use below: but.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "return CallPrint('DivGrid');");

Nothing to do with .Net and everything to do with a print stylesheet. You can create a stylesheet which will only work for when the page is printed. And you can change everything from what displays to postion to colours.

Use:

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type"text/css" href="print.css" media="print">

Note media="print" means it'll be used for printed pages.
