New to .Net (Printing)

[Robert]

In VB 6.0, I would use the following
printer.print tab(5)"Some Text"
printer.enddoc

I have VS 2005 Standard running on XP-Pro SP2

The above code does not work.
How do I send data to the Printer?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Lloyd,

I was excited about that printer compatibility library when I first saw it.
But after trying it with some really simple printing tasks I found it to be
so buggy as to be essentially useless.

Had a look at the link, just prints the form.

Does not print any data.

Still cannot find out how to simply send data to the printer.
Simple in VB 6 Printer.Print...

Any samples how to print data?
Have database, text files that will need to be printed, depending on user's
selection.

Thanks in advance.

No. See sub topics "how to: create standard windows forms print jobs" and
"PrintDocument Component (Windows Forms)"

Do you want to know how to read a file? How to print is desribed in the
topics.
