question again :) i used the following codes to print .pdf and .doc files:

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
psi.UseShellExecute = True
psi.Verb = "print"
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
psi.FileName = sReport
Process.Start(psi)

umm, is there a way to count the number of pages of the file being printed?
can you share some codes or links regaring this? tnx a lot..

Not directly, but you can use WMI (namespace 'System.Management', available
in "System.Management.dll") and the 'Win32_PrintJob' WMI class to determine
the number of pages of a certain print job. The 'Win32_PrintJob' class
provides a 'TotalPages' property. You can potentially identify the job by
monitoring the print queue and checking the jobs' 'Document' property.
