Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
p.Verb = "print"
p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
p.FileName = "C:\filename.doc"
p.UseShellExecute = True
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(p)

Dim pr As New System.Diagnostics.Process

pr.StartInfo.WindowStyle = Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal

pr.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False

pr.Start("C:\Programmi\Windows NT\Accessori\wordpad.exe")
