Private Sub printext(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal ev As PrintPageEventArgs ) ev.Graphics.DrawString(RichTextBox1.Text, New Font ( "Arial" , 11, FontStyle .Regular), Brushes .Black, 60, 300) End Sub In this sub the 60 and 300 are fixed margins so they need to adjustable There are two types of RichTextBox printing examples in zip file, your's that I modified and another probably better way Anyway try it and let me know what you think

Not quite sure what you mean The text that appears in my sample loaded automatically so during creating the project - I did not have to continually type in the textbox to disable the text: comment out loadTxt() ie: Private Sub Form1_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load 'loadTxt() RadioButton1.Checked = True PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = New Printing.PaperSize(( "A4 (210 x 297 mm)" ), 827, 1169) End Sub

One more quiestion... the exaple that you send me in a zip file.... in the text that is inside the richtextbox... it works the same way as the end user writes something in it and when he set the paper size and margins it would print as he wants...? in other word at desing time .....

Frogleg · Answer

I declared paper size in load event to set the document default settings. In some cases you have to set a default value or your program will generate an error. Regions are used to group code so that it makes it easier for someone to read, and you can expand / contract a region once that particular code is finished #Region "Call it whatever" #End Region

This is the code Im using to print the ritchTextbox, but I still cannot set the paper size in order to make the printer to recognize the margins in the content of the ritchTextBox, Once again thanks... Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System. Object , ByVal e As System. EventArgs ) Handles Button1.Click Try Dim printdoc As New PrintDocument AddHandler printdoc.PrintPage, AddressOf Me .printext printdoc.Print() Catch ex As Exception MessageBox .Show( "Error vuelva a intentarlo" ) End Try End Sub Private Sub printext( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal ev As PrintPageEventArgs ) ev.Graphics.DrawString(RichTextBox1.Text, New Font ( "Arial" , 11, FontStyle .Regular), Brushes .Black, 60, 300) End Sub ev.HasMorePages = False

Thought I recognized this thread If you are still having problems can you post your code

Jorge Torselli · Answer

Sorry I forgot... I'm using Visual Studio 2010, and the aplication's code is in visual basic....

Jorge Torselli · Answer

Yes... its a richtextbox, and if the person ho is using it does not press enter to pass to the next line when it prints does not recognize the margins of a lleter size page and only prints the document i one line only... it happens on the ritchtextbox that its content is intended to be printed in letter paper size, and another one to be printed (its content) in a smaller paper size like 1/4 of a letter size.... Thankyu for replying... sorry for my spellig, Jorge
