    [2005] Printing Woes

    Actually, the title is a little misleading. I have figured out how to print what I want fairly painlessly, and I think I have figured out how to print without opening any dialogs - just send the info directly to the printer I want exactly how I want it to look.

    Here's my frustration. Whenever I hit the "Print" button, a little annoying window pops up to tell me that page 1 is printing. I know it is, because I just told the program to do it! Is there any way to hide absolutely ALL print dialogs from appearing? I can get rid of all of them but this one.

    Thanks!

    There must be a code that you have put that specifies the windows coming up?

    This issue may be a function of the print driver - try using another printer (make sure it uses a different driver).

    A lot of print drivers have their own dialog boxes to let you know printing progress...

    Well I know that, but in my VB.NET project I had the same problem about a few years ago. It was a messagebox that showed up that just said Printing # page(s) and I don't remember if it had something to do with the code. Obviously the Printer's driver's dialog box will come up.....I don't think you can stop that.
