Printing a tif file in vb6

[jchri66]

Does anyone know how to print a multipage .tif file in VB6? I would like it
to work with XP and 2000 without any code change I think I was reading that
because the image viewers are different in the OS that native DLLs to use are
different.

Just to clarify.. I would just like to be able to automatically print a tiff
file. Also I don't want to buy a third party imaging SDK.

You might be able to use the ShellExecute API with the "print" verb. See
link below for examples (note: you would specify the "print" verb as the 2nd
parameter of ShellExecute):
