I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

There are some software companies whose POS System works on this new printer!!! ... So there must be some dll file or a code which helps to print !!! any clue??

Luc Pattyn

sure, just look at how they do it. Maybe the printer works with an existing driver. Maybe there is a driver you don't know about. And maybe there is sufficient documentation and some company did create a driver, so you can go and negotiate with them. Whatever it is, enforcing the use of a specific printer and not providing a solution to the driver situation makes no sense. :)

Since this is a business , no body is not willing to give what they got!!! It is like find the dll file from some where else then write a code by your self..... @ least if we got any file,documentation or dll file .. I will probalby do the rest of work my self ... But do u think that I cant get any documentation online??

How could I possibly know, you did not even mention the manufacturer nor exact model? :|

CoderForEver

U must b kidding ... am tlking abt a printer

Thomas Krojer

and how is this printer connected?

CoderForEver

until now wat i've in mind is zat .... it is a cash register printer by its self ... so zat u can work on it alone with out using computer ... but we wanted 2 use z cash register's printer .... until now wat i heard is that it has no driver ... but there are other companies who wrote the code .... so if u have any clue please helpp me .. thnx

Thomas Krojer

That sounds like an interesting challenge ... Question: This device is a cash register, as seen very often in shops? If so, some of them have a RS232 interface for communication (loading PLU´s, sales info ...) and also a communication software (I had to deals with such a device 15 years ago, so my knowledge is definitly NOT on the state of the art) for transferring data to/from the device. If not, I have no more ideas.

CoderForEver

what u r saying is right .... am talking about transfering data from/to the cash register .... but z printer has no driver ... but if i got the interface ... can i transfer my datas???? thnx a lot
