-> What kind of help are you looking for, Fred? Delphi supports the printer
-> in much the same way as it does a screen. There is a canvas, and you
-> must specify exactly where you want your information printed using
-> OUTTEXTXY(). Once you formatted the page, you then direct it to print. I
-> haven't done this recently, but did so about a year and a half back.
-> It's not all that difficult.
I'm trying to get the invoice to print as the example above.  
I can make a text file to look like what I want, but I need to be able
to have different size fonts in it.  Some BOLD some thin.
I can take some of the code I used in Pascal and transfer over to have
the text centered, but to get the fonts to change is the big one.
