Hi

I have got the common dialog and want to use it to print. I am not sure how to tell VB what printer has been selected by the user in the common dialog. Can anyone help me please.
 
the value u require my friend is:

Printer.DeviceName

when a printer is selected in the common dialog control, it automatically updates the current printer in the printer object, therefore if u wished to display the current printer in use something like:

text1.text = printer.DeviceName

would suffice, prior to the selection of the new printer obviously

hope that helps
