Hi Guys:

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a printing problem that I had.

I need to print some information on a pre-formatted page using dot matrix printer using VB.

A little background first.
The user also has an option of printing information onto a wordpad, instead of directly to the printer. So, I first dump all the information collected onto a temporary txt file, and if the user has selected a printer option, I then print the inormation onto the printer selected.

If I select a laser printer, and I print onto a pre-formatted page, the information appears correctly, in their designated places. (I hardcode spaces, so that data appears in places where they need to appear).

The problem is with the dot-matrix printer. If I print to a dot-matrix printer, the whole alignment goes completely out-of-sync.

I am using Fixed Font (Courier New), size 10. I am not sure, what needs to be done, to make output data aligned in a dot-matrix printer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
