This post helped me get thru a whole bunch of ____... MSDN Library help did not have the quirk you pointed out. Please accept my sincere thanks. Alan.

Is this possible? I can find no method using help or internet forums, but can't help feeling someone must know how.

Thanks,
Mick

Please tell me how can we print on Dot Matrix Printer using this code "Printer.Print", as i used it but i am not getting proper printout on Dot Matrix Printer while on Ink Jet Printer printout is proper.

Hi all,

I'm having a trouble figuring out how to pass entire documents directly from my app to the printer (i.e., without opening up Word or IE Explorer).  I have a list of rtf and html docs that I would like to print automatically, without forcing the user to open each document in a different app and print from there.  When the user presses "Print" I would like the ability to take each of the pathnames that I have stored and send them to the printer in succession so that it gives the feeling of seamless printing of the entire list of documents.  Does anyone know how I could accomplish such a task? (hopefully something similar to "printer.Paintpicture(loadpicture("name"), Top, Left, Width Height" for images???).  HTML and RTF are the major doc types that I need to be able to print this way.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

hello

please try to fix the coordinates of the printer by coding it, you can set its current x and y coordinates. Most new printers have drivers to support and automatic reconfigures the coordinates. Try also to code the papertype, paperbin.

Hope this will help you!

Good luck

hello, hope my solution will help you.

do not put printer.enddoc

this will end the document if youre printing in printers such as the inkjets and laserjets,

you can change the properties of this printer by:

printer.orientation
printer.paperbin

by this your printer settings will be change, it is important to understand 1st your printers capabilities

and features. ;)
