Didn't you post the same question in the C# forum?

Have you tried searching the web? Just go into the MSDN documentation, you'll find all your answers there.

To print XML form a dataset, you can use the WriteXml() function of the DataSet class.

Well it seems like you haven't searched well. Anyways, you can find all the information about it in MSDN.
Just create a PrintDialog object and use it print the file.

System.IO.StreamReader fileToPrint;
System.Drawing.Font printFont;

//Write the following in the PrintButton 
//CLick Event

string printPath = this.textBox1.Text;
            fileToPrint = new System.IO.StreamReader(printPath);
            printFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10);
            printDocument1.Print();
            fileToPrint.Close();

//In the PrintDialog's PrintPage Event 
//Handler do the following
float yPos = 0f;
            int count = 0;
            float leftMargin = e.MarginBounds.Left;
            float topMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top;
            string line = null;
            float linesPerPage = e.MarginBounds.Height / printFont.GetHeight(e.Graphics);
            while (count < linesPerPage)
            {
                line = fileToPrint.ReadLine();
                if (line == null)
                {
                    break;
                }
                yPos = topMargin + count * printFont.GetHeight(e.Graphics);
                e.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.Black, leftMargin, yPos,
                    new StringFormat());
                count++;
            }
            if (line != null)
            {
                e.HasMorePages = true;
            }

//Now in the browse button, form where 
//you get the xml filename into the 
//textbox, do the following in it's Click 
//Event.

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
            openFileDialog1.Filter = "XML Files (*.xml)|*.xml|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
            if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;
