In a nutshell it's as simple as:

Code:

Printer.Print Text1.Text
Printer.EndDoc

However, line wrapping, new pages, etc will need to be calculated.
I believe we have samples of advanced printing posted so try to search.

Or, for the richtextbox you can use a simple one liner

Code:

Call RichTextBox1.SelPrint(Printer.hdc)

For a standard textbox, you would need to use RhinoBull's code.
