Printer Command

Hello!

We are upgrading one of our apps from VB6 to VS2005(VB).

Barcode printing is part of the app. What we used to do is send the printer
command directly to the printer. Printer.print {long printer command} would
work. Since that doesn't exist anymore, how do we go about sending this
printer command to the barcode printer? The drawstring meathod prints the
command as an actual string on the barcode. I think it sees it as a graphic
only, not an actual string.

Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

Sub,

I have the idea that there are some guys (at least 2) in the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

who have probably an answer for you.
