        PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies = copieen
        PrintDocument1.Print()
end Sub
 Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
        data = "this is a test"
        Dim xx = 2
        Dim y = 0
        For x = 1 To 40
            If Len(machin(xx)) > 0 Then
                e.Graphics.DrawString(machin(xx), New Font("Arial", 10, FontStyle.Bold), Brushes.Black, 0, y)
                y = y + 14
                For u = 1 To 10
                    e.Graphics.DrawString(data, New Font("Arial", 10), Brushes.Black, 10, y)
                    y = y + 14
                Next u
                y = y + 14

Why on earth would you want to write your own printer code? I have done it and I promise you don't want to!

Take a look here:

As far as I know you can't guarantee that control characters and fonts a printer has installed or will recognize. I used the technical manuals for each type of printer I had to identify control characters for.

This code is only to print the right data
I was only expecting a page feed command in the printdocument class

Now it prints till the end of the page and the rest is lost
