Christi #1 / 7	problems printing on a zebra printer with printer.print My zebra printer is configured as a serial printer to my win98 computer. I try to print text on the printer with the command printer.print When i do this the printer gets a command (light goes on on the printer) but nothing is being printed. I know the codes are right ^XA en ^XZ because another person in the past did it within visual foxpro. I try now in Visual Basic 6.0. So printer and al the rest did not change. They told me that i had to add after the ^XZ the command printer.enddoc and then the printer would begin to print. I tryed again but nothing happens. What Could i be doing wrong. I do everything with printer.print "....." printer.print "^XZ" printer.print enddoc at the end but nothing has been print.

dnage #4 / 7	problems printing on a zebra printer with printer.print maybe foxpro was translating that ^ character... instead of ^XA en ^XZ try this chr$(27) & "XA" chr$(27) & "XZ" no idea if thats the real intention... just shooting in the dark while draining a beer...

Christine Schokkaer #5 / 7	problems printing on a zebra printer with printer.print It must be something with : sending an end of .... statement to start effective printing. In visual foxpro it works like set print on print "^XA" ... print "^XZ" set print off set printer to default. and then it works. Trying to find the alternative in VB 6.0 set print on (i am seraching for this) set print off ( i think printer.enddoc) set printer to default (still searching) The printer is set as a generic text printer on com1(no drivers of the zebra printers for the w98 for faster speed printing) the ^xa codes are the correct ones to send the statements to the printer.
