VB Forum / General / October 2004Printer object and LPrint
Many years ago,we used lprint to send printer specific commands to the printer. Now, with the object, Printer.,we are confined to a few generic commands. How can we send specific commands, i.e, width of type to the specific printer? If you send an escape command; printer.print chr$(27) it prints that out instead of interpreting the escape code.

Switch to a built-in printer font (not a TrueType font) so that VB won't "draw" your characters on the printer but will send raw ASCII codes instead. >> Many years ago,we used lprint to send printer specific commands to the >> printer.
