The current code works 100%...
Except it does NOT let me select the printer.... It prints it to the default printer.
All I want to do is, use same code, and select printer before it prints, if possible.
Thanks !!
Edit... I provided the whole code.

you click on button1_Click, it does EVERYTHING...
This is what it does..
It takes image descript.png which is a white background, it writes what ever text is on the TB_descript Text Box
then, it puts the text 4 times into the png file, saving as descript2.png ...
Then it prints...
It works, it prints...
But, it does not prompt which printer I want to use. The only thing I would need, is to make the printer selection window pop, right before it prints, so I can select any printer...
right now, it is printing to the default printer only, I want to be able to select printer.
Please help, this will be big help, but I have never made any printing software at all I have no idea what I am doing.
If I can use the same code, to print the descript2.png file, good...
If not, any code will be acceptable, as long as I can select any printer, I will be happy with any code.
Thanks Guys !
