Microsoft Printer Compatibility Library 1.0

Brief Description

The Printer Compatibility Library allows you to upgrade your VB6 code that used the Printer and Printers Collection with little or no changes required.

Overview

The Microsoft Visual Basic Printer Compatibility Library allows projects that used the Printer and Printers Collection in Visual Basic 6.0 to be upgraded without having to re-write your printing logic. By simply adding a reference to the library, declaring a Printer and making a few minor syntax changes, your project will be able to print using the Printers collection and Printer object as it did in Visual Basic 6.0.
