Hi John ----

Michael Levy had an ActiveX (OCX) wrapper of the VB Printer object that allows the sort of fine-grain control I think you're looking for. He sent it to me yesterday, and I have tested it, recompiled it in VB6, and documented it. Look for it in the Files section here (called VBPrinter) sometime in the next 48 hours (whenever Nick gets to it :-))

Hat's off to Mike.
