VB6 and receipt Printers

I got my program all written and working great, but forgot one small issue :blush: . The program uses a receipt printer to print out the data, but I don't know to have the printer cut the paper after it is done printing! I am using the Star 600 printer connected through USB with all the necessary drivers installed. From what I got from google I have to send it the command to cut the paper, but I have no clue how to do that from VB6. The book that came with the printer said the command to cut the paper is "ESC d", but how I get that to the printer I don't know :( . Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know if this will work, have you tried printing Chr$(vbKeyEscape) & "d" ? If it fails, try adding a space before the d: " d"

Escape is a CHR(27)

Print Chr(27);"d";

should do it...

We use a much more complex method to talk to cash drawers and receipt printers that involve a series of DLL's that talk to these devices. Show some of your code please.
