Instead of using tabs, use multiple calls to 'DrawString' with appropriate X
coordinate.

Tab characters don't move to a defined tab position in a PrintDocument. You
will need to parse out the strings and locate them in your code.

So should I replace the tabstops with spaces?

\\\
Const TabstopWidth As Integer = 22
Dim Line As String = ...
Dim CurrentX As Integer
For Each Column As String In Split(Line, ControlChars.Tab)
e.Graphics.DrawString(Column, Me.Font, Brushes.Black, CurrentX, 100)
CurrentX += TabstopWidth
Next Column
