From: Marc on 5 Mar 2010 04:50 Hi, I want to print only a string but I can't find the method. My code is: Dim s as String Dim p As Printer For Each p In Printers If p.DeviceName = "\\Recepcion02\ZDesigner LP 2824" Then Set Printer = p Exit For End If Next s = code.Value Printer.Print s This last command fails. thanks for the help. Marc

From: Marc on 5 Mar 2010 09:30 With your modification occurs the same problem. The line p.Print s shows me an error that this object dont admitt this property or method. I'm not sure if it's posible to print a string. Maybe I have to reserve and standard output and print like a shell. knows somebody more from that? thanks for the help. Marc

I haven't seen those commands used in Windows. Perhaps you could run the code from Dos but gw-basic isn't distributed with Windows anymore...you'll have to find another program. Here's a link to explore if you'd like http://mc-computing.com/Languages/SerialIO.htm I'm not sure what the p.print s line would do. The printers collection lets you list the printers in the collection and perhaps set the margins and other properties of the printer object. I don't see any "print" method or property.

To incorporate it into your app, simply import the class module and use the supplied demo to guide your coding. hth |
