print dialog

Add a common dialog control to your form and name it CommonDialog1. Then use the following statement to call the dialog box:

CommonDialog1.ShowPrinter


Once the user clicks OK you are responsible for the printing code. Here is an example:

Printer.Print "This is a Test"

or

test$ = "This is a Test"
Printer.Print test$

To send it to the printer when done use:

Printer.EndDoc

It is really simple to use once you get the BASIC concept. Hope this helps a little.

try this

Add the commondialog control to the form

commondialog1.printerdefault = true
Commondialog1.showprinter
printer.print text1.text
