Here is my code:

Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Namespace Print
Public Class Form1

    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    Dim PrintC As PrinterClass
    Dim conn As OleDb.OleDbConnection

    Dim connectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=..\\db1.mdb"

    Dim sql As String = String.Empty
    Dim ds As DataSet

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        FillDataGrid()
        '//create printerclass object
        PrintC = New PrinterClass(PrintDocument1, dataGrid)
    End Sub

    Private Sub FillDataGrid()

        Try

            Dim dt As New DataTable
            Dim ds As New DataSet

            ds.Tables.Add(dt)
            Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter


            con.Open()
            da = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * from klient ", con)

            da.Fill(dt)

            con.Close()

            dataGrid.DataSource = dt.DefaultView

            Dim dTable As DataTable
            For Each dTable In ds.Tables

                Dim dgStyle As DataGridTableStyle = New DataGridTableStyle
                dgStyle.MappingName = dTable.TableName
                dataGrid.TableStyles.Add(dgStyle)

            Next
            ' DataGrid settings
            dataGrid.CaptionText = "TE GJITHE KLIENTET"
            dataGrid.HeaderFont = New Font("Verdana", 12)
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(0).Width = 60
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(1).Width = 140
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(2).Width = 140
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(3).Width = 140
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(4).Width = 140
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(5).HeaderText = ""
            dataGrid.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(5).Width = -1


        Catch ex As Exception

            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)

        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
        'create printerclass object
        PrintC = New PrinterClass(PrintDocument1, dataGrid)

        PrintDocument1.Print()
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnPreview_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPreview.Click

        'create printerclass object
        PrintC = New PrinterClass(PrintDocument1, dataGrid)

        ''preview
        Dim ps As New PaperSize("A4", 840, 1150)
        ps.PaperName = PaperKind.A4
        PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ps

        PrintPreviewDialog1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
        PrintPreviewDialog1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
        PrintPreviewDialog1.ClientSize = New Size(600, 600)

        PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()

    End Sub


    Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
        'print grid

        Dim morepages As Boolean = PrintC.Print(e.Graphics)
        If (morepages) Then

            e.HasMorePages = True
        End If

    End Sub

End Class
End Namespace

This is how data looks in DataGrid (that's perfect)...

enter image description here

and here is how it looks when I click PrintPreview. (I don't want the time to appear there, the "12:00:00" part. in database the date is stored as Short Date (10-Dec-12)

enter image description here

Can somebody suggest a way around that?
