print out a file in VB.net

I am working on a VB.net project that needs to provide a feature that user
can print a file to a printer from a directory. The file can be any type,
like PDF, TIF, etc., not just text file. Could anybody help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds simple enough.. but it isn't. Are you going to write code to read
and print these files yourself (then you'd need to know how to read and
render PDF for example), or are you going to use the applications they
are linked to (calling acrobatreader with a parameter to print the given
file)?
