I use this method printing from imaging applications (we use specific image formats not available for Fox/CR). Coding is really big and typically includes such API functions as:
TextOut - print text;
Rectangle - draw shape;
SetMapMode - set font point mode;
CreateFont - create specific print font;
SelectObject - change printing mode (font,pen, etc.)
and many other functions.
Check Windows SDK manual (VB set contains it) for function descriptions and be lucky. Actually, when I started to do this job I wasted a lot of paper trying different functions but, alas, it's the only way to get something.
