Send codes to a Printer

How do I send escape codes to the printer

I used to be able to do Printer.Print chr$(27) & chr$(71) & "20" and get it
to send. Of course this was vb but there should be some method of talking to
a printer.

thanks,
jc

I'm not sure if it can actually be used for sending escape codes to a
printer, but if you want to print take a look at the
System.Drawing. Printing namespace. Got to love it! The interface is great.

JC,
Look for topics on printing directly to a printer in either
codeproject.com or C# Corner www.c-sharpcorner.com.
An example would be the article in
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/20...rintDirect.asp.
