Problem in Serial Printer when printing

[nadifa]

Hi...<br><br>I have problem when printing text to the serial printer.<br>&nbsp;<br>as long as I know&nbsp;&nbsp;that visual basic program has image form when printing text to the printer so I can't print the whole&nbsp;&nbsp;text to the printer . How to solve it ? Until now I can't print the whole text. ( My Serial Printer is EPSON TM-300B).<br>&nbsp;<br>Thank you very much.

Can you explain some more?<br><br>Is it that VB is sending text as an image, and your printer only understands ASCII?<br><br>Do you have the correct printer driver installed in Windows -- can you successfully print a test page?<br><br>Chip H.<br>

if you want to print text to serial printer you can open serial printer as an output file, like this<br><br>Open &quot;Lpt1:&quot; for output as #1<br>but if your printer is not ready program will not respond until the printer is ready.<br><br>or you can use object printer, like this<br><br>printer.Print &quot;.....&quot;<br>or <br>Printer.PaintPicture Picture1.Image, if you want to print an image<br><br>aceng<br>

Is it that you are sending data too fast for the serial printer to cope with? <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=
