Hello,

I am new to printing in vb.net. I have a project (not from school) where I need to be able to print content that is entered by users. The rest of the app is already made. I need to print the following:

A Title with a line under it,
A Space

A Heading
Followed by text from an RTF file that is already formatted

Then another space, followed by a Heading,
Followed by text form another RTF file, also pre-formatted.

I would also like to place text in the header and footer, but maybe that will come later.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
Greg

Perhaps one of these projects can be useful.

Thank you for the link, however it didn't exactly solve my problem. I am starting to grasp the concept of printing, but I could not find information on how to print formatted content from a RichTextBox.

Could you please advise me on this.

Thanks once again,
Greg

In all honestly, I have no experience with what you're attempting.
But I am fairly competent in using Google, and applying what I learn from there in my own projects.

Have you read this MS article? Getting WYSIWYG Print Results from a .NET RichTextBox

Thank you! I worked! I can finally print rtf. Although this doesn't solve my initial problem, it does work. I have modifided the rtf code to place a header on the top, as well as coping the data from other rtf files into one large one, then printing that.

Thanks for your help!
