    Visual Basic 6.0 and printer codes?

    Locked

    by rene.bourgoin ·

    I am new to programming and VB. I am trying to right a program that will allow me to send printer codes directly to the printer.
    When I send my form to print, I actually get the printer codes on the printout instead of the actaul layout I designed.
    Help.

      First, have you checked the printer drivers? Are they set to generic / text or to the correct driver for the printer?
      Second, What kind of printer codes are you trying to send? Do you have some sample code?

        The printer codes are for a Monrach bar code printer. The Printer control language is specific to this printer.
