I guess you need to use PrintSetup.CurrentPrintSetting property.

Hi Thanks for reply,

By using this code i am accessing all printing set can you tell me where can i change the printing setting.

List<string> list = new List<string>();
IList<ViewSheetSet> vsheetsets = new FilteredElementCollector(document)
.OfClass(typeof(ViewSheetSet)).Cast<ViewSheetSet>().ToList();
foreach(ViewSheetSet vs in vsheetsets)
{
if (!comboBox1.Items.Contains(vs.Name)) comboBox1.Items.Add(vs.Name);
}

For the form code:

using Autodesk.Revit.DB;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace RevitAddinCS5
{
    public partial class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
    {
        Document _CachedDoc;

        public Form1(Document CachedDoc)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            _CachedDoc = CachedDoc;
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<string> list = new List<string>();
            List<ViewSheetSet> vsheetsets = new FilteredElementCollector(_CachedDoc)
            .OfClass(typeof(ViewSheetSet)).Cast<ViewSheetSet>().ToList();

            BindingSource bindingSource1 = new BindingSource();
            bindingSource1.DataSource = vsheetsets;
            
            cb.DataSource = bindingSource1.DataSource;
            cb.DisplayMember = "Name";
            cb.ValueMember = "Views";

        }

        private void Print_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                PrintManager printManager = _CachedDoc.PrintManager;
                printManager.PrintRange = PrintRange.Select;
                ViewSheetSetting viewSheetSetting = printManager.ViewSheetSetting;
                viewSheetSetting.CurrentViewSheetSet.Views = cb.SelectedValue as ViewSet;
                printManager.SubmitPrint();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
