Printing of WPF Window on one page

Question

Hi. I am able to print the current Window using the following code:

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

However if the Window does not fit the page it get truncated. How do I make the Window fit the Page ?
I guess I need to make a graphics element first and check if this graphics fits the page, but I have found nothing so far.

Answer 1

If you give your window a fixed Height and Width you can adjust that to fit on the printing paper. If I am not mistaken WPF uses 96 pixels per inch.

Answer 2

There is one solution out there that lots of people are reposting as their own. It can be found here:

The problem w/ that is that it does resize your UI. So this next link takes the previous solution and resizes back to the original size when it's done. This does work, although I can't help but to think there's likely a more elegant solution out there somewhere:
