'VB allows printing to 3 objects within a program
'1. Printer
'2. Picture controls
'3. Forms
Printer. Print "hello"
picture1. Print "hello"
form1. Print "hello"

'takes place and how it look

.ScaleMode 'values are twips, points, pixels, inches, cm, mm, character

.ScaleTop 'coordinate at top of object
.ScaleWidth 'width of object
.ScaleHeight 'height of object
'Printing starts at x,y coordinates 0,0, or whereever set with .CurrentX and .CurrentY properties
Printer.CurrentX = 1000
Printer.CurrentY = 3000
'Exact set of properties available depends on the printer driver supplied by the printer manufacturer
'To end printing on a page and start a new page use (does not apply to forms/pictures)

'To end printing on a document and eject the page use (does not apply to forms/pictures)
'VB automatically calls this when a program ends, if there is content in the print buffer
