Printing in IDE prints garbled code

[Brian Cline]

I'm trying to print out some of my code from the VS.NET IDE (specifically,
VB.NET), and when I do it prints out a bunch of garbled text as my code. The
page header showing the location and file name are fine, but the code
itself. For example:
Imports System.Console
yields
,PSRUWV~6\VWHP1&RQVROH
when printed. This is hardly what I wished for when I told it to print this
module.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian Cline

Brian,
I had this problem in early releases of VS.NET and it was caused by a
printer driver that didn't understand Unicode. Try updating to the latest
driver.

I had exactly the same problem on my laptop. However when I tried with
another laptop on the same network using the same printer driver and
printer, the hard copy was fine. So after playing around, I found out
what is making the difference. As soon as I installed Win2K SP4 on the
other computer, it stopped working. Now both computers have the
scrambled output. I even tried to re-install the printer driver but it
did not work.

I hope there is a solution to keep SP4. I did not find anything from
Microsoft about that yet!
