I'm trying to programatically print the content that is rendered in an
internet explorer control.

if do webbrowser.navigate ("http://www.yahoo.com")
the content of the webpage appears in the browser control.

I'd like to then print the display of the browser control
programatically to a printer.

does anyone have any code samples that can do this?
 
Painfully difficult to do. See this MS article:

I was attempting to create my on web pages and then send them off to a
printer (so I didn't have to create fancy forms, I figured it would be nice
to render HTML tables). I finally gave up. :-( I almost had it working
but was not able to control all the attributes of the printout...like
turning off the headers or telling it to only print certain pages.....

For printing HTML files you can place a hidden WebBrowser control on
your form (customize toolbox and add a reference to the Microsoft
WebBrowser COM component). Then load the file into the control using its
'Navigate' method. This code will print the HTML file:

\\\
wbrResult.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DODEFAULT)
///

If the user souldn't be prompted, use OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER.
