print to printer using visual basic

[ozipos]

I am trying to print text to a docket printer with the following command
printer.print "trying to print"
but I keep getting an error.
Actually I want to print special keys so that the cah draw opens. I first need to know that the print commands work. If I can specify the printer as well it would be great.
I have tried
pinter.print Chr$(27);Chr$(0 );Char$(80);Chr $(80)
but this doesnt work in opening the draw. The printer doesn't respond at all.
The error I get is
The expression on Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Object doesn't support this property or method.
Any help would be welcome.
