Dot Matrix printing in C#?

Question

I\'m trying to print to Dot Matrix printers (various models) out of C#, currently I\'m using Win32 API (you can find alot of examples online) calls to send escape codes dire

Answer 1

First Convert the Sequence commands into character then pass to printer

Example Bold Font 27,69

string.Format("{0}{1}",Convert.ToChar(27),Convert.ToChar(69));

Perhaps a bit shorter as:

string.Format("{0}{1}",(char)(27),(char)(69));

Answer 2

It appears that what I would like to do is not possible.

My choices for printing are unmanaged direct to printer printing (using winspool.drv) which allows me to do whatever I like to the printer and allows me to easily line things up.VB.NET Example Or I can use GDI+ (System.Drawing.Printing) which is complicated to get things to line up but will work with non-dot matrix printers like XPS and PDF printers.
