Bleeding hell.

I have been given someones old VB 5 code to fix.
It's supposed to print labels on a datamax label printer.
The problem is that you need to make use of the printers own built in language. I'm not suprised the last programmer gave up.
The Printer object does nothing.

Has anyone had to work with these wierd label printers ?
Where the hell should I start ?

I want to cry !!
