Sending File To Printer

[PrasadK]

Hello Friend,

I am using the concept of Text I/O and creating a report in visual basic, I want to send the report to the printer directly .. In this regard I was using the Printer object print command but it is not that efficient.. Can U suggest me any API wherein I can directly send the File to the printer ..

Urgent!!

Regards

Prasasd

you can use the ShellExecute API and specify "print" as the second parameter.
This will invoke the application that is associated with the extention and cause it to print the file.
