How to print draft?

[jusan]

I am using VB6 under windows 98 and trying to print in true draft mode, but have some difficulties.
In the program, I set printer.printquality = vbPRPQDraft, but it still does not print in draft mode.
we really need to know how to have vb print in true draft mode.

It sounds like you are trying to print to a dot matrix printer... I've encountered the same problem and the only way I have been able to get around it is to use win32 api's to open the printer and send the text directly to the spooler instead of through the printer object. Doing that makes it work a lot like old dos dot matrix printing.. you get the speed but have to worry about printer control codes etc...

Thank you very much. I will try that out!
