Printdocument adds a blank page

I am trying to print data from a database using printdocument, and I got it where it prints data from the specified range, but there are 2 more things that go wrong.

things that still don’t work as intended,

  • when printing, if the page is almost fully used, it adds a blank page with the title printed on it.
  • and if the page is full, the next page starts again with the first element of the range (FIXED, using several lists, because I could not figure out how to make a list with sublists)

this is the code i have to call printdocument

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)//print
{
    range();
    try
    {
        if (artikel == true)
        {
            itemperpage = totalnumber = 0;
            printPreviewDialog1.Document = printDocument1;
            print = true;
            printDocument1.Print();
            // this.Close();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception q) { MessageBox.Show("" + q); }
}

this is printdocument code

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
    if (artikel == true)
    {
        Font messageFont = new Font("Arial", 14, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point);

        float currentY = 10;// declare  one variable for height measurement 
        e.Graphics.DrawString("                                                                                                                  I N K O O P A R T I K E L E N ", DefaultFont, Brushes.Black, 10, currentY);//this will print one heading/title in every page of the document 
        currentY += 15;

        SqlCommand artprint = new SqlCommand("select * from ART WHERE ART BETWEEN @range AND @range2 ORDER BY ART ASC", Connectie.connMEVO_ART);
        if (comboBox1.SelectedIndex <= comboBox2.SelectedIndex)
        {
            artprint.Parameters.Add("@range", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = comboBox1.SelectedItem;
            artprint.Parameters.Add("@range2", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = comboBox2.SelectedItem;
        }
        else if (comboBox2.SelectedIndex <= comboBox1.SelectedIndex)
        {

            artprint.Parameters.Add("@range2", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = comboBox1.SelectedItem;
        }
