graphics.drawstring question

[arunman]

Hi,
Im writing a C# .Net application to print in zebra 2030 thermal receipt printer (Uses 80 mm wide paper). I'm using the windows Graphics object for printing. string text = "Line1\n Line2\n\n\n\n";
e.Graphics.DrawString(text, new Font("Courier New", 12), Brushes.Black, 0, 0);
The problem is Drawstring is not printing 3 blank lines after printing Line2. The receipt is cut after the text Line2.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Take a look at an ASCII table for the exact numbers.
I think you will have better luck sending a true ASCII LineFeed. (LF)

Well \n IS the LF character 0x0A or 12 on the ascii table.
Are you sure your bounding rectangle for drawstring is big enough? And that its set to "wrap" correctly?
What happens if you send the 0x0C character (form feed/new page) does your printer shuffle down?

What if you made your string:
string text = "Line1\n Line2\n \n \n \n"; //adding in extra spaces
Any difference?
How about:
string text = "Line1\n Line2\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"; //adding in carriage returns

Are you sure you're not missing the carriage return key?
