Printing in Text mode?

Lee

Hello all,

Getting ready for a new project in vb.net and getting used to the new
syntax, etc. Is there a way to print to a printer in text mode like
the old DOS copy command? I'm doing it in Delphi now with a nice
little class I picked up. I'm sure I could duplicate the class and its
calls to WinAPI, but if there is a better/easier way to do it in
vb.net, then....

If case you're wondering, we're printing in text mode to receipt
printers because of the speed over printing in graphics mode.

Warm Regards,

Lee
