Purpose of Printer.Print

So far, any printed output has been done with the PrintForm method. When we print using PrintForm , all output is produced as a graphic, which does not produce attractive text.

In addition to printing forms, we will need to create reports or print small bits of information on the printer. We can use VB?s Print method to print text on a form, on the Printer object, or in the Debug window.

We can set up an output for the printer using Printer.print (object.method). Visual Basic establishes a printer object in memory for our output. Each time we issue a Printer.Print method, our output is added to the printer object.
