This is a follow up of a conversation (I lost it) where the question was asked (How to print from x to y, I think) and I started to answer (some logic : some code) without telling too much and I forgot to mention I understand the question as narrow as to Print the Listbox contents (not all purpose, so no TextEdit).
Now, I have done it. The method below print the (passed) Listbox (contents) even if you want to print from Page x to Page y, without pre-printing useless pages.
The day I started this method (modified an old method), I had the idea, but not the focus, nor the time. Sorry.
BTW: in my own project (I stated that in code, but
), I add two methods:
print_Footer(g)
print_Header(g)
but I do not add any code in them. A phone call, time to do something else, whatever and when I came back, I forgot to add code in them (and nearly three years goes away 'till now !). 
Feel free to make suggestionsif you had some, report errors if you found some, etc.
At last, ask if something looks strange, dark, anything.
