Hi,
I?m currently developing a POS application in VB.NET.
I want the user to be able to connect any kind of POS printer (available on the market).
I have tried printing the ordinary .NET way e.Graphics.Draw String(...) but it seems it cannot parse the special control characters that I want to use.
I have used Epsons OPOS Ocx (which works fine) but it?s not generic like I want it (too much hustle for the user to set up the device) I want it to be plug and print.
Has anyone accomplished this? If so could you please point me in the direction where I can find information about it?
Regards

I don't know what a POS printer is, but maybe this sample works for you:

POS Printer = Point of Sale Printer, well here in the UK anyway. Something like a Cash register receipt printer
The link you have provided should point Frederik in the right direction, without actually trying it, it looks like it will do what he wants. Thanks for the link, I have saved it for my own information as the company I work for may do something with POS printers in the future

Hi Everyone,
I am using the API of a particular printer driver, to pre-specify settings

I tried sending the escape characters with Control font, but the Graphics.DrawString of PrintPageEventArgs do not allow it.. so I used the RawPrinterHelper class I found on Microsoft KB. It worked out...

This apparently is a common problem and I've yet to read a solution that actually works for my specific situation.

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,...
