As long as the printer has a windows printer driver and you communicate with it using that driver only (no escape code injection etc) then the hardware layer should be of no consequence - it should just work...

thanks for reply. then what should i do for printing on dot matrix ? pliz. suggest me code.

He just told you! It's no different that if you were printing to a laser printer. Crystal Reports will handle generating the image of the page and pass that to the printer driver which will convert that into the native language of the printer. There's nothing your code has to do any different.
