Ok, I just tried to print something, but it doesn't run. Here's my code:

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()

   Draw.Begin(printer)

     Draw.Text(TextBox1.Text, 200, 200)

   Draw.End

END

I know that Gambas2 only prints into file, but even if I give a 
filename, it will say "unknown object: printer"

What's wrong here?
