Hi,

The program i designed have 3 option, usb printer,network printer and
parallel port printers. As for parallel port printers, i have successful
print with 8 printers with a physical electronics print switch. that is
connected to an PC. If it was the case of usb printers,it will be connected
to a usb hub, and finally if it is through a network, they will be connected
to the main PC through LAN.

As for the usb connection and network printing, i have been trying many type
of techniques like threading and processstartinfo() to help me, but to no
valid...
i try using windows API, but most of them refer to VB6, and they mostly use
default printing, i do not think changing default printers in different
threads will work, or does it work? not too sure...

Thanks for all your advices, i appreciated all ur helps, pls let know also
if there any other suitable platform to ask this type of question, because
personally i feel this is 50% VB.net question and 50% windows question, it
might not be enough to solve this with vb.net knowledge alone...

regards
YouYi
