  Hi check this

  Sending Documents to the Printer

  The PrintThisFile method in the cShellExec class lets you send a specific file to the printer. The code fragment for PrintThisFile is:

  Public Sub PrintThisFile(FormName As Long, FileName As String)
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim X As Long
    X = ShellExecute(FormName, "Print", FileName, vbNullString, 0&, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
  End Sub
  

  As with both the ExploreFolder and OpenThisDoc methods, the PrintThisFile method requires that you pass the file’s name and the parent window’s handle to the method. Next, the operation field of the ShellExecute function is set to “Print”, which sends the document to the printer.

  OLE Document embedding is not supported by the .NET framework. But it is still supported by Internet Explorer. Display the document in a WebBrowser control. All you really get with that is the Word GUI inside a window in your app. If you can automate the editing, use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word namespace; that lets you print the document too...
