The qPrinter project features an enhanced VB
Printer Object with resizable Preview window. Documents are
built using TextItem elements. For each element properties can
be set and edited to change font, border and positioning properties
and by using HTML style tags font, alignment and indent
characteristics can be changed within the TextItem element.
Headers and Footers can be included on each page.
