I like to print a double line on the paper, like String$(80,205), but it won't work in VB (in TurboBasic it worked well). What can I do ?

Did u try vbCrLf ????
You must use a font that containes that character.
Dim sOldFontName$
sOldFontName = Printer.FontName
Printer.FontName = "Terminal"
Printer.Print String$(80, 205)
Printer.FontName = sOldFontName
'the rest of your print procedure
Printer.EndDoc
Good luck!

You'll get more control (i.e. position, width, angles) with Line property:
Printer1.Line (X1, Y1) - (X2, Y1)
State it twice (with a slight different Y) for a double line.

It's so easy even you can do it!

Thanks Joacim, I am using this and it works fine.
Juan I think your way is also right, but how can I now where the coordinates must be before or after printing the text on the paper ?

Hi, Kars. It's easy. You have a "CurrentY" property that let you know where you are.
If you want to print a line say 50 twips after a line of text, do so:
Printer.Line (X1, CurrentY + 50) - (X2, CurrentY + 50)
