Remarks

In v20.2, we improved row height and column width calculation for printed workbooks in our WPF Spreadsheet. The resulting printout now resembles the print output of Microsoft® Excel®.

This option is only available when you use the new layout calculation engine (the EnableLegacyLayoutEngine property is false ).

If you upgrade your application to DevExpress v20.2 or later, a printed document’s layout can change. You can activate the EnableLegacyPrintLayout property to revert to the legacy algorithm.
