Fast printing

I'm writing an app to do gift card processing at a friend's movie theatre,
and in dummying up some movie names I'm basically designing the ticketing
system we both agree is the logical next step. It won't be long until we'll
be printing admission tickets, so I'm curious if anyone has experience with
the sort of fast printer they use at theatres. I'm wondering if they have a
different protocol from standard printers, if it's something Access can
speak, if I need to do anyhting special, etc.

I've noticed the Form property "Fast Laser Printing" - it looks only
slightly relevant.

My program right now generates USPS style shipping label using System.Drawing.Graphics. It works fine except that the printer prints really slowly. I want to make my program take advantage of true type fonts. So I assume it's possible to send Font Type and the text to the printer, and the printer should digest and print faster. Still, barcode info needs to be sent as an image. When I print fifty copies of the same label it prints really...

Hi, I am getting into printing with VB.NET 2005 and want to implement the usual capability that a user can select a selection of pages. I have a report that is generated by my application that if the user wants all pages will produce 3 pages.

I am working on writing an Apache Module (in C/C++) that needs to resize (down) large images (4MB to 16MB) VERY quickly. The objective is not to make the images look great for printing, just look good on the screen as low rez (900x600 max). Initally I was doing this in .Net, to downsize a 6MP image, it took around 0.5 seconds to read in, downsize, and save the image. The main problem with .Net is that it is not crossplate, I am porting...

I have an ASP.NET page that displays work orders in a GridView. In that GridView is a checkbox column. When the user clicks a "Print" button, I create a report, using the .NET Framework printing classes, for each of the checked rows in the GridView. This works fine in the Visual Studio 2005 development environment on localhost. But, when I move the page to the web server, I get the error "Settings to access printer...

Hi guys, I am struggling writing fast UDP server. It has to handle around 10000 UDP packets per second. I started building that with non blocking socket and threads. Unfortunately my approach does not work at all. I wrote a simple case test: client and server. The client sends 2200 packets within 0.137447118759 secs. The tcpdump received 2189 packets, which is not bad at all. But the server only handles 700 -- 870 packets, when it is...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
