Printing On A Continuous Paper Through A Thermal Printer Using Crystal Reports
Mar 11, 2010
I'm trying to take a print on a Continuous Paper through a Thermal Printer ZP 2844 using Crystal Reports 2008 along with Visual Basic .NET 2008. I've set the page size to 3.00 inches as width & 3.00 inches as height. It prints well when the contents are a few on a single page but it puts gap when printing more than single page. There's no page margins set in crystal reports & the printing setup is the same in Crystal Reports as well as in Printer's Setup. Even in Print Preview of Crystal Report, it shows 2 pages to be printed but there's neither any gap at the end of first page & the start of second page. But! Still, a gap is shown when the report is printed. Here's an example how the print is show:
----------
Product Qty Amount
Item1 1 100
Item2 1 100
[Code]....
You can notice the gap between Item3 & Item4 which is due to next page or page break or so. I've noticed that in Crystal Report Viewer for Web, there's an option of SeparatePages = False which let you have a single/continuous page printing but I've not found any such option in Crystal Report Viewer for Desktop.

Im 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.

A couple of things firstly When I create a new Crystal Reports file (using the built in Crystal Reports in Visual Studio) I create a blank document. I then insert a Text label type text and goto properties and Visual Studio Exits with no rhyme or reason. No error. Anyone experienced this or get any ideas?
Secondly I have a form with a load of text boxes in a column/row arrangement and text labels as column headers. I then want to be able print these in nice view (I have a certain way I have to display the print out.
I have never used Crystal Reports but I thought this would be the way to go about it. Is this right or is there another easy way? If it is can anyone point me to any example (preferablly begginer and basic) that I can read and learn from?

My company has a Eltron 2543 thermal printer. I'm developing an VB.NET application incorporating FedEx web services to print off shipping labels.I can save off the data file without a problem, but I was wondering how I send this data stream to a shared printer on a network.

I am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.

This is pankaj, I am currently working on the printing project. Here I have creating a custom paper(height =
1000mm and width = 800mm) on the printer via code and then trying to print the text on a specific location (for
example. top = 1cm and left = 1cm). It does not print the text After trying many time i found that printable area,
created by the code, is not changed but it is changing height and width as custom paper i have given in the code. But still it's printable area remains the same as previous paper

Basically, I am looking for a method on how to preview reports from a datagrid or it can be from the access database which populates the data to the datagrid (then displays this in the datagridview) in vb.net vs 2010.I believe there are two methods using the ReportViewer or using Crystal Reports, but so far, I have no idea how to get them to work. The first idea would be favourable - using the data from a datagridview (which may of already been sorted, filter etc) and be able to produce a report on that.

What i want to do is simple but at the same time complicated. I have multiple .PDF file and i want to print them all. Thing is, all the .PDF are in 8,5 X 11 paper size. The printer is also on this paper size by default and i want to print them in a different size. I want to change the default printer size programatically so it prints in the right format. I need to change this in the program because i need to print in a few different paper size.
here is some code
Dim Process1 As New Process
Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo("C:Program FilesAdobeReader 10.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe", "/t " + path + filename + " " + printername + "")

My HP LaserJet 1018 Printer Preferences has "Paper options" with four options: Use different paper, Size is, source is, Type is. "Type is" has options such as: Plain, label, card stock, envelope etc. Apparently this information is relayed to the printer and affects its operations. In my case when I put in labels the heavier paper is not pulled correctly and the registration is often off. How can I choose one of these from VB 2008 .NET? I find "paper size" but not "type is" among the many options for Printer Settings.

I am creating reports in Crystal Reports that is integrated within Visual Studio 2008, and I noticed that some of the features are disabled. One is the ability to link tables with a Right Outer Join or Full Outer Join. I also cannot "Show SQL Query" in Crystal Reports. Is this something I can enable or do I have to purchase or upgrade?

I'm learning about printing and have made good progress but there is still one thing I can't understand. I can set the paper size using "papersize" but should I use "paperkind" - is so, how do I use it? When I want to use the standard papersizes(A4, A5 etc) what method is best?

Attached is an excel file which I want you to have a look at. Usually the staff fills in this form manually in 2 copies everyday and this is becoming very tedious. So what I was thinking is to design a form with labels (which represent the columns on the excel sheet) and text boxes. Let's say for each 5 records they capture, they can take out a printout on A3 paper like the same format in the excel sheet. I know we can do that directly on the excel sheet but the thing is all the data captured will be used in another application I have developed.

I have written a program in VB that sends faxes to my customers. When I test it, the fax machine prints the output on legal paper and I have no idea why. I have checked everything that I can find and I don't see anything in the API to set the paper size. I am setting the body to a PDF file. When I print the PDF file locally, it prints just fine. I have tried other files, output from other programs (i.e. word) and the end result is always the same.

I want to print bill on a roll paper using vb.net. The requirements are as follows: The width of the page is 300 pixels or 3 inches. The height of the page is variable, depending on the number of the rows in the datagrid. The page header will have an image. The names of the items could be long, so they should not be chopped, rather print on the next line.
How should I go about it?
