Printing Special Characters to the printer.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to get a decently formatted report from the printer but I m
kinda lost.

I am able to control the line feed by using vbCrLf, but the vbTab
simply doesn't have any bearing at all.

How do I make the printer understand the vbtab character? I am passing
a stringreader object to the printdocument control.

Lost,
Mr. Tired.
