WPF - print datagrid contents

Question

I Have looked around and I have not found a solid answeer to this question. I am trying to print my datagrid content when I press a button, the main problem is that my datagrid has too much data and only whatever is shown in the screen is printing. I need It to print all data and if the data does not fit in current page create a mew page and print the rest.

Answer 1

Here is my solution printing Data Grid View using System.Drawing.Printing

    using System.Drawing.Printing;

    private int PageCounter { get; set; } = 1;

    private int RowCounter { get; set; }

Print Button

        private void BtnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();

            IQueryable<PaperSize> paperSizes = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Cast<PaperSize>().AsQueryable();
            printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSizes.First(ps => ps.Kind == PaperKind.A4);
            printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);
            pageCounter = 1;
            printDoc.PrintPage += PrintDoc_PrintPage;
            printDoc.Print();
        }

Print Method

        private void Print_Document(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Graphics == null)
                throw new Exception("Unable to find page Graphics!");

            int left = 30;
            int cellLeft = left;
            int top = 50;
            int cellWidth = 0;
            int headerHeight = 30;
            string headerName = string.Empty;
            string cellValue = string.Empty;

            Rectangle rect = new();

            int pageWidth = e.PageSettings.PaperSize.Width - 60;
            int pageHeight = e.PageSettings.PaperSize.Height - 100;

            Graphics g = e.Graphics;

            Font font = new(FontFamily, 9);
            Pen p = new(Brushes.Black, 1f);
