Accessing a simple variable from the JSO object in a VB.Net application is very simple. Take a look in the examples in the IAC documentation.

The PrintParams are not a simple variable. It is unique for each current instance of a document. It should only be used in the context of a print. You can't set it up in one peice of code and then expect it to be the same at another time. If you want to set the name of the file that will be printed to, then you should do this at the same time that the print is done.

First, create a folder level function for doing the print, something like this:

 function DoMyPrint(cFileName){var pp = this.getPrintParams();... Set other parameter ...pp.fileName = cFileName;this.print(pp);}

Then call this function from the JSO in your VB app.
