Print a VB form not using Print form method

Hi,
I need to print a VB form. First, I used Printform method. But it only prints with default printer settings. I need to change Orientation(Portrait/Landscape), Number of copies and Default Printer as I want. I used Print Dialog control but I don't know how to send these info to the printer. How do I code these in my application after the show Printer statement.

Does anyone have the code for printing the form changing these settings? Any help would be greately appreciated.

Could you use the Printer object or the CommandDialog.ShowPrinter?

There is a good control to print a form, with all the options...
Hope this helps.

Hi Marconovaro,
Thanks for the response. It gives me little help. But my form has an Image and texts. Also I'm a beginner. So some contexts are complicated for me. So I think only way I can do is make a reference to the Qprinter. If you can help me to go further I appreciate it. Thanks.
