Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the PaperBin property value.

Dim Printer As New Printer
Printer.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
Select Case Printer.PaperBin
    Case vbPRBNUpper
        Printer.Print("Using the upper bin")
    Case vbPRBNLower
        Printer.Print("Using the lower bin")
    Case vbPRBNMiddle
        Printer.Print("Using the middle bin")
    Case vbPRBNManual
        Printer.Print("Insert a sheet of paper")
    Case vbPRBNEnvelope
        Printer.Print("Using the envelope feeder")
    Case vbPRBNEnvManual
        Printer.Print("Insert an envelope")
    Case vbPRBNTractor
        Printer.Print("Using the tractor feeder")
    Case vbPRBNSmallFmt
        Printer.Print("Using the small paper feeder")
    Case vbPRBNLargeFmt
        Printer.Print("Using the large paper bin")
    Case vbPRBNLargeCapacity
        Printer.Print("Using the large capacity feeder")
    Case vbPRBNCassette
        Printer.Print("Using the attached cassette cartridge")
    Case Else
        Printer.Print("Using the default paper bin")
End Select
Printer.EndDoc()
