What to do if I’m a print shopowner and billed to a customer’s name for work done for one of his corporations but he has not paid and I’m afraid that he’ll dissolve the corp?

Can I hold him personally responsible because we billed him and not the corp. even though the corporation paid the bills?

You can sue him as owner of the corporation and the corporation (dissolved or not) and make sure you serve them properly according to your state's requirements. Once you serve and sue, you should be fine to prove your position and then you may have to file a claim for the money from his insurance company if he had one.
