computer or the printer or if it's something I'm not doing right.

| Printer.Font.Name = "Arial"
| Printer.Font.Size = 6
| Printer.Font.Bold = False
|
| BTW, is there a limit as to how small the font can be?

Shouldn't the code look like this for VB 4 thru 6 (some periods
removed):

Printer.FontName = "Arial"
Printer.FontSize = 6
Printer.FontBold = False

From VB6 help:

Note The FontSize property is included for use with the CommonDialog
control and for compatibility with earlier versions of Visual Basic. For
additional functionality, use the new Font object properties (not available
for the CommonDialog control).

Note The FontBold, FontItalic, FontStrikethru, and FontUnderline
properties are included for use with the CommonDialog control and for
compatibility with earlier versions of Visual Basic. For additional
functionality, use the new Font object properties (not available for the
CommonDialog control).

Note The FontName property is included for use with the CommonDialog
control and for compatibility with earlier versions of Visual Basic. For
additional functionality, use the new Font object properties (not available
for the CommonDialog control).
