Hello.

Printer is easy, have a look at the PrinterDialog, PritnPreviewDialog, PrintPreviewControl and PrintDocument.

Scanning is...a little bit more complex. You can use the WIA Libraries from Microsoft, or TWAIN (f.e. OpenTwain (.NET Wrapper) from openTwain - Home ). But it's more complicated, since the device has to support WIA by using, read: installing, the correct driver. On the other hand, most common devices have installed TWAIN drivers which don't work with WIA...
