I got my program all written and working great, but forgot one small issue . 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!
