Printing

hi
i want to print simple text from my application .

Here is the simplest scenario:

printer.print "This is sample text"
printer.enddoc

how do i create this printer object ... is it an activeX or wat ?

The printer object is a default object in the default vb project. You can easily
change the Font, size, color, position, etc. Just type like previously posted or...

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Printer.Font = "Arial"
    Printer.FontSize = 24
    Printer.FontBold = True
    Printer.ForeColor = vbBlue
    Printer.Print Tab((Len("My Title") - 80) / 2); "My Title" 'Center the title and print in bold blue text
    Printer.Print String(80, "-")
    Printer.FontSize = 12
    Printer.FontBold = False
    Printer.ForeColor = vbBlack
    Printer.Print "This is some that I printed."
    Printer.EndDoc 'Send to print spooler for printing.
End Sub

Thanks but how do I set the Printer? Do I need to import any class for this?

nothing is needed except the printer being online.

I print to a remote printer thru a wireless lan. it works fine.

You can iterate through the Printers collection and set it to one you need if the
one you need is not the default printer.
