I wish I was doing this from DOS, but no in fact I'm trying to do it from
Windows, in C# (hence the newsgroup).
It sounds like I have to do it through a jet-direct device as well, so I'll
really have to go through the Windows print system to do it. I'll keep
looking into a solution, but if anyone out there has done this before I'd
appricate knowing what you did.

System.Drawing.Printing Namespace can give you variouse information about
printer and printing. and I think printing single line is possible you have to go through the
manual of printer and check if it takes any command to mark the document
end. if it takes then you will not be giving that command.
I hope on dot matrix printer you are going for dos based print not windows
based print.

I'm working on a project where I need to be able to print a single
line at a time to a dot matrix printer. Essentially we have a log printer and
each time an event occurs on the system I need to have the printer print a
line that relates to what the event was. From what I can see of the
printer model in .Net, it's mostly document based. Is there any way to have
it print a single line to the printer (and have the printer actually
output that line) and then wait for the next line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
