Hi,
I am using following code to print my data on the form through PrintForm.

VB

PrintDialog1.ShowDialog()
       PrintForm1.PrinterSettings = PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings
       PrintForm1.Print()

When I select printer and press Ok, it generates an error

VB

Path cannot be null. Parameter name: path

Please advise.

Googled a lot!

dont forget we cant see your screen, so we cant see or know what PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings contains ... this link shows some usage of PrintDialog (you're right, good information is a bit thin on the ground) https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vbteam/2007/07/12/using-the-printform-component-in-visual-basic-matt-gertz/
