Hi Penguinsfly1,

I think you can try the following lines

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
        psi.UseShellExecute = True
        psi.Verb = "print"
        psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
        psi.FileName = "C:\MyFile.doc" ' Here specify a document to be printed
        Process.Start(psi)
    End Sub
End Class
