You can use a control called CallBack by MicroHelp Inc. The control is in
its VBTools 2.x. By this control, you can monitor all events you want whenever
what state your program is(except your program is not being executed). If you
don't have this control, you can write a DLL which perform Hook Function by
yourself....   :-)

You can use almost all of the Windows API in Visual Basic. About 99% I think.
If you wan to call printer setup or access printer driver, just use 
Common Dialog Roution. It is easy....   Almost no code required.

It seems that it is much better than VB 1.0, so upgrade soon. Though I havn't 
gotten VB2.0 yet.
