Printing direct to LPT1

[andreww]

I need to print direct to LPT1 from VB for label printing - Help I need to send control codes and data

You can use the Printer type to print to the default printer.

Printer.Print "Greetings fellow vb programmers"
Printer.EndDoc

That's fine for normal text but it also prints all the configuration settings - the control characters,everything!
I managed to do this with com1 using "Open "COM2" For Output As #1" but cannot get this to work using lpt1 - any ideas

[andreww]

Consider this one dead - I stupidly omitted the quotes around "lpt1" - doh

thanks for your help though
