I have a form that is maximised and with FormBorderStyle set to none so it is covering the whole screen.
My app. requires that some printing be done but when that happens the taskbar appears briefly and disappears again which looks unprofessional.
Is there any way to keep the taskbar in the background or hidden
Stop taskbar appearing when printing ?

I don't believe it's possible - the reason the Taskbar pops up is because you are launching the print spooler, and it places an icon in the notification tray while your document is printing. This is an intrinsic behavior of Windows, and I'm not aware of any way to override it.
If you think about it, it probably doesn't make sense to hide it anyway. What happens if the printer isn't available, or is out of paper, or something else goes wrong If it's hidden behind your app, the user won't know there is a problem.
