VB6 Printing.

I did.. But I spelt it wrong

"(careful when typing name - if its wrong the thing may default to something else)"

I did suggest it as #1:

1) another font (careful when typing name - if its wrong the thing may default to something else)

And you said you tried it

Thanks all.

Problem was ..... Arial font corrupt.. VB was defaulting to arial italics.

Try Courier font and see if you get italics again.

VB6 help says always change the font name before the style so that might be why your 2nd bit of code doesn't work but I doubt it. Otherwise is there anything odd in your project references? You should probably only have the three basic vb libs for that.

Try:
1) another font (careful when typing name - if its wrong the thing may default to something else)
2) check text, maybe some letters there interpreted as making it italic - print some plain text assigned directly to the variable ie: "test"

Thanks Alex,

tried all of that and still the same.

Also created some new code away from the app with the code :

Printer.FontItalic = False
Printer.FontName = "Arial"
Printer.FontSize = 36
Printer.Print Text1.Text
Printer.EndDoc

Still prints in Italics

Tried to a different printer.. No Joy

I'm writing a little bit of code to print some barcodes and events for Mrs WC2's snake project.. Everything works as expected accept from one thing.

Everything is printing in Italics.

SAMPLE CODE

Printer.FontName = "Arial"
Printer.FontSize = 36
Printer.Print txt_sname.Text

I tired adding the line

printer.fontitalics=false

But this made no difference at all

Any advice
