I have a module that generates fill out a System.Drawing.Graphics object.

I then try to print it with a event on my main form but the print preview comes out blank.

This is my print page

   Private Sub MyPrintDocument_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles MyPrintDocument.PrintPage
        Dim MyGraphic As Graphics

        MyPrintDocument.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 200
        MyPrintDocument.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 100
        MyPrintDocument.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 100
        MyPrintDocument.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 75

        MyGraphic = MyGrpahicPage
End Sub

MyGrpahicPage is the public graphics object my module fill out.

    I think the problem is that you have to print to the Graphics object provided by the event argument, not another one that you may have hanging around. In other words, you need to draw on e.Graphics. The help page for PrintPageEventArgs.Graphics shows how this is supposed to work.
