Has anybody had any success using VB and an Epson TM88III parallel printer
to kick a cash drawer without advancing and cutting the paper?  I'm using
the latest TM drivers and using the sample VB code in the manual I can get
the cash drawer to kick open, but the paper advances about half an inch and
autocuts.  Any ideas or suggestions?

Printer.FontSize = "10"
Printer.FontName = "control"
Printer.Print "A"
Printer.Enddoc

Thank You,

Jeff

Jeff, I've achived a POS package running on several sites supporting this
printer as well as TMTU20D and TM-T90, though I'm using Serial Interface,
rather than Parallel (coz life is easier with Serial Ports - and you can get
finer control too). Also, I decided to against EPSON's device drivers, and
wrote a simple library to do lots of things - which are very easy, if you
have the ESC Character codes available.

Regards,
Sailesh.
