Summary:
The message "Printer Error" is displayed when you print a form from
Visual Basic to a text-only printer. The text-only printer does not
have the graphics capability to print the Visual Basic form, and
Windows 3.0 traps the printer error and displays the "Printer Error"
dialog box. This behavior is by design.
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From the Windows Control Panel, choose the Printers icon, and
select Generic Text / Text Only as the default printer. (You may
need to install the Generic / Text Only printer from the Control
Panel to make this option available.)
2. Start Visual Basic.
3. From the File menu, choose Print. The current form and code
are selected by default in the print dialog box.
4. Choose the OK button to print. Windows 3.0 displays the "Printer
Error" dialog box.
