The text, The reciept is mine, is written to a file called Receipt.txt as required. and a command is given to the printer but the printer does not print characters on the paper as the paper rolls out of the printer during printing process.

Our official receipt is printed in a dot matrix and must not be printed on any other kind of printer.
I am trying to develop a program that will open, print and then close the selected files from the listview.The file could be of any type, but I am particularly interested in autocad drawing files - .dwg format.

printing a displayed form to a printer. This is my current code. (I am using the PrintForm visual basic PowerPack.)
Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
cPrintForm.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
cPrintForm.Print()
End Sub
This prints the form fine, but the problem is that the page printed is portrait, and my whole form doesn't fit on it, so I was wondering how to set it to landscape?
I have a RTB. I want to print the contents to a printer. KB 811401 does most of what I want. I want the on screen RTB to change size based on the settings of the selected printer. That way the user really gets WYSIWYG between the screen adn the printer. This application prints to labels so it is very important that what the user sees on the screen comes out exactly the same on the printer. Last night I think I found an example that linked the RTB to the printer, but it was an old version of VB that does not work with 2008 .NET and I can't find it today anyway.
View 3 RepliesIm making a POS system and so far all is great, im up to making the thermal printers work (2nd last thing on the list).I got my shiny new printers yesterday and they are a generic brand, they are compatible with epson commands (and yes it came with a book of ESC codes, which also confuse me).My issue is this, i "installed" them but windows will not recognise them as a printer. How can I print direct to them? baring in mind they are USB printers.I know it can do so in its current setup as there is a test program that prints fine.

View 3 RepliesI want to utilize the maximum paper area (A4 size sheet). Therefore I must get the minimum margins that specific printer can handle. I have more printers attached to th pc, so I can not hardcode these values. I have tried to set margins to zero, but that results in printing outside the page at right side and bottom:
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Top = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Right = 0
PrintDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Bottom = 0
So my question is: is it possible to read the selected printers minimum margins without have to open a PageSetupDialog, and therefore make it possible to utilize maximum printing area with code only?

The application im trying to do is a client-server application so the idea is that the server send the instruction to the client telling him what to do and then the client will do it, in this case it will go to a SAMBA directory and it will get the drivers for the printer model from there and after that it will install the printer, everything in silent mode.

I am trying to print to a network printer from a web page. To do this I am using PrintDocument and some simple code that I found. When I run this code while debugging in visual studios it works fine but when I move it to our server (windows server 2003 - only happens on x64) it gives an invalid handle exception. I don't believe it is a connection problem with the printer because I am able to print while remotely logged on to the server and the error comes up when trying to print to a file as well.
Protected Sub Button1_Click() Handles Button1.Click
myPrint = New PrintDocument()
myPrint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "\printserverprinter"
