I am trying to print a sales ticket through a text file and then send
it to a usb printer, I am having problems changing the font size
It's a long time since I used printer control codes and with my old fading memory I can't at the moment check whether or not you are sending valid codes. I've got an old Citizen Swift 24 dot matrix manual lying around somewhere and if I get time I'll dig it out and check for you. In the meantime is there a specific reason why you are printing this way instead of simply using the VB printer object? Obviously old dot matrix printers work faster when you dump raw data to them. Is that why you are doing it this way (to get fast printing from an old machine)? Or is there some other reason? Presumably you are using a printer that will actually work as a simple line printer in the old "raw ascii data" mode (not all printers will do that), but even if you are you need to be aware of the fact that printing code written in this fashion is likely to cease to work if you for any reason change to a different printer. As I've said, I'll see if I can find this old Swift 24 manual, but in the meantime perhaps you'll tell us whether you really need to print in this fashion?
