Most DM Printers offer a DRAFT QUALITY setting that is a lot faster than normal printing is. There is usually another High Quality setting that is even slower.

Look in the printer properties.

This is a very good question which is blowing in my mind. Presently i am using the method of creating a .txt file and printing thru a .bat file

I am giving brief details here for printing from VB6.0

1) You have create a text file print.txt (the thing that has to be printed)You have do all the alignment, positions, etc. for that text manually.
2) You ca use FSO (FileSystemObject) to create a file.
3) create the following batch file (run.bat) in the local program directory.
TYPE PRINT.TXT > PRN
or
TYPE PRINT.TXT > C:\PRN

4) The file content will be sent to the LPT1 or Default Dotmatrix printer

Do you want more details,sir?
