Object Type	Path to EnableLegacyPrintLayout
SpreadsheetControlOptions	.Compatibility .EnableLegacyPrintLayout

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.
