k,
I made a "point of sale" prog for a local business, and the prog will print out invoices to a dot-matrix printer (this is also on a local network). In my code, I use the following code:

Printer.Font = thePrinterFont 'default "arial"
Printer.FontSize = 8
Printer.FontBold = True
With frmCustomerInfo
Printer.Print "#"; Tab(15); ":" & .Text1(0).Text
etc....etc...

Anyways, it will print sometimes with the defined font, and sometimes with something totally different. This will make the invoices un-usable because the columns defined for the original font will not work with this other. What is going on here? Anyone help me? If the default is not supported by the printer, windoze is suppose to substitute this font with one that is appropiate , right? I have the default printer font definable in my preferences, so it's adjustable....

Can some one explain how this printing is handled? THe docs in msdn suxx... :-(
Any help would be appreciated....tia
