[DieHard]

hi all,

I am printing thru Crystal Reports to a DOT MATRIX Printer and I wanna make some characters BOLD (DOUBLE STRIKE) just like TURBO PASCAL EDITOR DOES TO PRINTER...

Can somebody help me with the control codes for the Generic / Text only printer in windows which will make the printer double strike on paper...

thnx in adv,

The control characters are specific to your printer. You need to find the manual for the printer (or find the web site) and get the info from there.
