    Lightbulb Printing Text from textbox

    I am trying to develop a program that will print the text from the text box a certain distance from the top of the page. How would I accomplish this?

    Example...

    The user inputs text and the is another textbox where the user will put the line number the the printing will begin. Let's say line 1 with start at 5.35" down the page, line 2 will start 6".

    You can manupulate postions utilizing some of Printer properties:

    Printer.Height
    Printer.Width
    Printer.CurrentY
    Printer.CurrentX
    Printer.TextWidth
    Printer.TextHeight
    Printer.FontName
    Printer.FontSize
    etc...
