I am using the PrintDocument for my print application.

Currently it is printing to the default printer.

How to change to a different printer?

VB.Net 2003 & .Net Framework 1.1.

Thank you,

Pete

Try opening a PrintDialog box and setting it's return value equal to
the printer that the user selects.

Sorry I forgot to mention. It is an automated program. No manual
intervention.

Hi Pete,

If there is no user intervention possible, You can use the
PrintDocument.PrinterSettings property, through which you can specify
several Printer settings.
---------------------------------------
Dim pd As New PrintDocument()

' Specify the name of the printer to use.
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = MyPrinter

'Set the no. of copies to print
pd.PrinterSettings.Copies = 2

'Set the range of pages to print
pd.PrinterSettings.PrintRange = PrintRange.AllPages

If pd.PrinterSettings.IsValid then
  pd.Print()
Else
  MessageBox.Show("Printer is invalid.")
End If

---------------------------------------

If you don't know the names of the installed printers, you can get it from
the PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters collection.

Regards,

Cerebrus.
