Send Control Codes To USB Printer
Oct 4, 2010
I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question but it seemed like the most applicable. I am using VBA to create a barcode label application that sends a series of ZPL (Zebra programming language) commands to a USB printer.I need this program to be stand alone in the sense that the Excel 2007 workbook that I am embedding the macro in and the printer driver are the only software that will be required to sucessfully run this program on various computers that have Excel 2007 installed. Additionally I need this program to work directly with the USB port and not a serial/ usb converter. Can someone help me, or direct me to help, to perform this kind of operation? I used to be able to read and write to serial/ parallel ports and haven't worked with USB from a programming perspective.

Isn't there a way to send an MS Word doc to a printer in VB.net? We generate dozens of Word docs for our clients daily, and would like to create a simple app that will list the files in a selected folder and allow them to highlight as few or as many as they want and send them to their default printer.

My printer is a ZEBRA TLP 3742, and dont have memory for graphics, so i've printed the label to a .prn file where I can see commands, and write them in VB commands
The graphic part of the file is in HEX I think, so how can I send it to the printer ? i've tried by "print.Write" but dont work since it wants a String [code]...

there is a possibility to send Files to a printer which is connected to a virtual LPTx, e.g. "copy filename lpt1". Is it possible to make this WITHOUT a LPTx? A solution in vbScript would be great, but VB is also OK.

I need to create an exe in VS2010 with VB that does the same thing as a simple command line. The reason is related to debugging. I can type ECHO ~ > \WIN7MMF25$ in a command window on a W2K8R2E server and it will send the ~ character to the shared "printer" on the Win7 PC. Actually, the device is a cash drawer connected to LPT1 that pops open when it sees a ~ character.
Anyway, I created a CMD file with that command, saved it, fired it, and the cash drawer on the Win7 PC opens. However, when I try to call that command file from our ERP application, it doesn't work (it does work if the remote PC is XP, though - just not if it is Win7 or Vista).
Anyway, I was hoping if I created a simple EXE and called THAT from the ERP software, perhaps whatever issue is bugging us will not bug us anymore.

My company has a Eltron 2543 thermal printer.

I need to be able to send a PostScript file to a printer specified by the user. I am using a print dialog box to get the printer the user selects but now I need a way to send a PostScript file to that printer. I am able to send a PostScript file to a printer right now, but it only sends the file to the printer that was last selected. I am using Ghostview to view the PS file and to print it. This is why the file prints to the last printer selected.
Here is the code I am using to print the file in Ghostview:
If PrintDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo()
p.Arguments = PrintDialog.PrinterSettings.PrinterName

I was just wondering how the hell you send documents of different type directly to the printer without a preview.
At first I thought this would be easy but so far I have had no joy at all.

I never used the printingdocument class, and i need some info to know if i can do what i'm thinking.I need to send some text from one textbox directly to one printer (i doesn't have to be the default printer), the user just have to push the button in the form, and the text gets printed. I don't need (want), the print preview and the form with the printers list.

Here at work we send straightup text documents to a Genicom, continuous feed, dot-matrix printer and we use the following code in Visual Fox Pro:
RUN COPY *.353+*.360+*.362+*.354+*.825+*.MSL+*.XMS+*.PQR+*.PJS+*.AJS lpt2
I'm having trouble how to accomplish the same thing: simply sending the files to the print queue.

I have a Zebra TLP 2844 Printer connected by USB to my computer. I want to send EPL Commands from Visual Basic .Net to the printer through the USB Port wich the printer is connected to. USB is a Serial port but IT IS NOT COM PORT. So, I don't want the method of connecting the COM port with VB.Net. I want a USB method or any helpfull idea or code.
I searched the net for many days but no solution was found.
Briefly, I want to print to Zebra TLP 2844 from Vb.Net over USB port.

I'm currently pulling HTML data from a database and displaying it in a WebBrowser control in my VB.Net application so that it's correctly rendered. The next step is to print it, but I need to be able to send it to a specific printer rather than the default printer. How can I accomplish this?

I need to be able to write data to a binary file. No problem - I have a test app I've knocked up that reads and writes to them fine, however the format uses C0 and C1 control codes, and I have no idea how to write them properly. The SOH, ENQ, DLE, NUL type of thing. I'd post some but they are non-printing. I know what they mean and what they do but have no idea how to write them.Basically we are writing our own system that generates test data files for import by another program. My files that I write have the correct number of fields and correct value and formats but because I can't get the tags to write they data is imported incorrectly. I've spent days reading up on it but can't find what I'm looking for.Not dealt with binary data files in VB before so this is all new.

It seems the only options available to do multi-color on a string is either a bunch of label controls cleverly grouped together or to use a RichTextBox and play with the font properties as text is added to the control.
What I am looking for instead is some kind of control that can render some style of control codes out as color. Consider bash codes:
NORMAL='e[0m'
GREEN='e[0;32m'
BLUE='e[0;34m'
echo -e "This text is ${GREEN}green${NORMAL} and this text is ${BLUE}blue${NORMAL}"
In the above, the words 'green' and 'blue' will be colorized with their respective colors. I was wondering if there was a control with some kind of feature like this, or will I have to code something myself?
Note, I only have the Express copy of VB 2010, and I would very much like to avoid third-party controls.

I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).

I've spent all day and most of yesterday trying to find how to: 1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages than it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, in stead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and searched through one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of pretty much irrelevant code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which don't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating.

I have a WebBrowser control in a VB.NET WinForms app. I am able to set the default printer from code and print without prompting the user. However, there is also a print button that shows the PrintDialog. If this action is done first the page will print.Then if I try to programmatically print later (again setting the default printer to some other printer) the it will print to the last printer selected in the PrintDialog box even though I am resetting the default and see the default printer being changed in Windows.It works fine unless ShowPrintDialog has a printer chosen first. Once that occurs it seems to always use that printer no matter what I do.

If strPrinter.Contains("My Printer") Then
