Hi Don,

Please read the whole thread not just the first message. There's is a sample code that shows how to use Common Dialog Control which will give you access to the printer properties.

However what I was trying to do is get control of the printer via a custom dialog that might even let me select the paper feed (manual feed for labels) based on a user variable. The first step would be something like:
