black text appears in the shaded box?

I mean, how do I print the black text in the shaded box on the paper.

You could do something like this:

Printer.DrawWidth = 5
Printer.Line (50, 50)-Step(1440, 1440), , B

Printer.CurrentX = 500
Printer.CurrentY = 500
Printer.FontSize = 20
Printer.FontBold = True
Printer.Print "test"

Yes I could do something like that above. I use my code below.

'Printer.DrawWidth = 5
'Printer.FillColor = &H808080
'Printer.FillStyle = 0
'Printer.ForeColor = vbBlack
'Printer.FontTransparent = True
'Printer.Print ""
'Printer.Print "Hello this is a test"
'Printer.Line (0, 500)-(1400, 200), &HC0C0C0, B
'Printer.EndDoc

It does not show a shaded box here. What's wrong with my code?

What do you mean by it doesn't show a shaded box, it doesn't print anything?  If so, it may be outside your printer's minimum margins.  Try this and see if it works.


Printer.DrawWidth = 5
Printer.FillColor = &H808080
Printer.FillStyle = 0
Printer.ForeColor = vbBlack
Printer.Line (0, 0)-(5000, 5000), &HC0C0C0, B

'Change the current x and y locations to where
'you want to print the text
Printer.CurrentX = 1500
Printer.CurrentY = 2500

Printer.FontBold = True
Printer.Print "Hello this is a test"

Printer.EndDoc
