{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
            cryRpt.Load("PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\CrystalReport1.rpt");

            TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos();
            TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
            ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            Tables CrTables;

            crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "YOUR SERVERNAME";
            crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE NAME";
            crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
            crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";

            CrTables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in CrTables)
            {
                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo;
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo);
            }

            cryRpt.Refresh();
            cryRpt.PrintToPrinter(2, true, 1, 2);

        }
   }
}

cryRpt.Load(PUT CRYSTAL REPORT PATH HERE\\CrystalReport1.rpt");
The Crystal Reports file path in your project files location, there you can see CrystalReport1.rpt . So give the full path name of Crystal Reports file like c:\projects\crystalreports\CrystalReport1.rpt

  crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "YOUR SERVERNAME";


  crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE NAME";


  crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";


  crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";

You have to pass the necessary database connection information.

Now you can run the program . When you run this program the program will print multiple copies of Crystal Reports.
