If the PrintAction property is set to a value other than PrintToPrinter, this property is ignored.

Note
Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to set the Copies property. It assumes that you have a TextBox named txtCopies that is used at run time to determine the number of copies to print.
Dim pr As New Printer
Dim numCopies As Short
numCopies = CShort(txtCopies.Text)
pr.Copies = numCopies
pr.Print("Hello")
pr.EndDoc()
