Frage
I'm working with a Epson Tm U200B dot matrix printer (receipt printer). I got a template of the receipt in excel (some text and 2 images). It prints ok from excel, but now I'm doing and .net app to print from there.
The printer works on an COM serial port.
What:
What have I tried:
On windows I tried the Printer object that comes with .NET (such as e.Drawing.DrawString, etc). The printer is ultra slow using this and it won't use the correct font.
Installed POS net
I took source code from many websites, forums, and here but nothing.
I'm hopeless and exhaust, trying almost anything I found on the internet... If someone have some experience with this, please help me.
