I am using WPF writing my Code using C#. and I am sorry because I don't have any idea what kind of information to provide in this question just be patient ;).

//===================EDIT===========================

       if (printDialog.ShowDialog().GetValueOrDefault(false))
       {
           printDialog.PrintVisual(listBox1, this.Title);
       }

// I am trying to print a content of ListBox, but the problem is that I am using Arabic language in my visual

<ListView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="503,73,0,98" Name="listBoxEPayed" Width="410" MouseDoubleClick="listBoxEPayed_MouseDoubleClick">
            <ListView.View>
                <GridView>
                    <GridView.Columns>
                        <GridViewColumn Header="الرقم" Width="50" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=ReportID}" />
                        <GridViewColumn Header="محرر الفاتوره" Width="100" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=UserName}" />
                        <GridViewColumn Header="قيمة المبلغ" Width="75" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Cashamount}" />
                        <GridViewColumn Header="التاريخ" Width="120" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Date}" />
                    </GridView.Columns>
                </GridView>

Option 1: Use a WPF form to print out. The following code snippet is from SO question ( Printing of WPF Window on one page )

PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
if (printDialog.ShowDialog().GetValueOrDefault(false))
{
    printDialog.PrintVisual(this, this.Title); 
}

The problem with that is, the windows might well not fit onto one sheet of paper.

Option 2: Bind your data to a reporting solution like Chrystal Reports ( now owned by SAP, there is a free version available ), Active Reports, DevExpress or one of the others. Some of the available reporting components are pretty expensive, but for high quality results their worth the money.

I see that print is something not easy to obtain, What about form a document and save it as a text or docx or even pdf can you help me with that? – Yasser Jun 20 '12 at 07:04
Thank you very much, I am trying to solve my problem. Would you please see my Edit – Yasser Jun 20 '12 at 07:28
According to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wpf/thread/e7bb5adc-8811-4ce5-903d-af578e8fae1e this happens with some printers. Can you try on a "real" printer or one of the alternatives mentioned there? – Sascha Jun 20 '12 at 08:02
sorry to late but I was facing some problem with my printer. I've try to print on a real printer its name "HP LaserJet 6l" it's an old one is it make a problem? – Yasser Jun 21 '12 at 12:22
any way I am using another solution now. The solution is to open up a new window and put in it just my listview and print the whole window ;), it's working – Yasser Jun 21 '12 at 12:24
