Printing in VB

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.

Re: Printing in VB

A couple of ways...

Dim P As Printer



Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName



For Each P In Printers

  Debug.Print P.DeviceName

  If P.DeviceName = "The Name of the printer" Then

    Set Printer = P

    Exit For

  End If

Next P



Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

or by using the common dialog control

Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName



CD.ShowPrinter



Debug.Print Printer.DeviceName

Good Luck
