Printing a .dat file

[baconbits420]

i have created a .dat file using a streamwriter and am having troubles
recalling the file for printing to a receipt. I know to use a
printDialog and a PrintDocument, but how do i set the printDocument to
the document i want?

Any insight would help

What data does the DAT file contain? You'll have to handle the print
document's 'PrintPage' event, draw the data to be printed onto the page
there ('e.Graphics.DrawString', 'e.HasMorePages') and start printing by
calling the print document's 'Print' method.
