Printing in VB .NET

I have an application in VB 6 that collects data and is able to print a
report. I am able to "printer.print" text from within the application
without having to create a file. I am able to do printer.fontbold and so-on.
I see examples of how to print in .net, but the examples use text files.
How do I either create a text (or other type of file) with bolding, or print
directory to the printer as I do now with at least some degree of formatting.
I would hate to go through this process of upgrading to have my reports look
like junk.

Thanks in advance for any guidance, just think I am new to .NET and suspect
I am missing something here...

This newsgroup is for users of Visual Basic version 6.0
and earlier and not the misleadingly named VB.Net
or VB 200x. Solutions, and often even the questions,
for one platform will be meaningless in the other.
When VB.Net was released Microsoft created new newsgroups
devoted to the new platform so that neither group of
developers need wade through the clutter of unrelated
topics. Look for newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or
"vsnet" in their name. For the msnews.microsoft.com news
server try these:

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

If you are jumping to VB.NET, you need to jump
news groups too. See Bob's reply for some useful
info.
