printer object to do text report

[David]

I have VB6 app that generates a report using the Printer object. It
basically was an old text report that i generated using Print# statements.

I am wondering if the Printer object has changed significantly in vb.net and
whether to consider using some other tool.

The report grabs data from a database but I do a lot of processing of the
data and generate alot of calculations before I generate my report.

You can download a power pack for visual studio 2005 that gives you a
printer object that works
almost exactly the way it worked in vb6.
