Printing

[Christopher Thornburg]

I am new to .net and C# programming and I am writing a POS type of application that prints a receipt to a small receipt printer. I am having some problems understanding how to format my report for this little printer. It will work in a laserjet on a full sheet, but it won't print on the receipt printer. This is making me crazy!!! Anyway if anyone has any ideas I am so in need of help. Thanks!!! :doh:

hi, for POS applications , normally APIs are available like OPOS. which provide methods for primitive printing tasks. for direct printing to a printing device using serial cable , u still can use OPOS standard. u will have to use special characters at begining and end of , for instance , a string to print it. in both cases, you will have to build a string that you want to print and send to printer (like a batch printing pattern). i dont think u its going to be like windows standard printing (i.e on A4 printer). have a look here for more info http://monroecs.com/posstandards.htm[^] regards.
