Printing with VB6?

Carl

Hi; I'm trying to select different printers with the ShowPrinter method,
and set the printer for the Printer Object based on the printer selection
from the Common Dialog control.
My problem is passing the selected printer to the Printer Object. How
do you get the selected printer information from the ShowPrinter method for
the Common Dialog Control? -Carl

Never mind. I figured it out. One simple statement placed before the
common dialog control showprinter call. Here it is if your interested.

Printer.TrackDefault = True
commondialog1.ShowPrinter

That does it. Any subsequent calls to the Printer object follow the
printer selected in the Printer Dialog Box.
Thanks anyway.
