im relatively new to visual basic, and as a beginning project i wrote a small program that allows me to keep track of a orders at my workplace, thus saving me a little time. I now would like to add the capability of printing these orders, but am unaware of how to send information to the printer, i have messed around with the printers method, but all i have to go on is visual basics help files and they are well...pretty basic. Could anyone possibly show me some sample code that would take a text string and send it to the default printer??? if not, then at least point me in the direction of an on-line site that can give me some more details on how to do it??? Thanks in advance for any help.
