How do I print a particular label or textbox in visual basic?

By printing, I am referring to the actual hardcopy that comes out of a printer...haha

Thanks for your help.

A couple of ways...
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Dim P As Printer
  2.  
  3. Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
  4.  
  5. For Each P In Printers
  6.   Debug.Print P.DeviceName
  7.   If P.DeviceName = "The Name of the printer" Then
  8.     Set Printer = P
  9.     Exit For
  10.   End If
  11. Next P
  12.  
  13. Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
or by using the common dialog control
Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName
  2.  
  3. CD.ShowPrinter
  4.  
  5. Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

Good Luck
