I'm working on c#.net application that already use serial port to print ticket with text and a little image as logo by thermal printer.

Now i need to migrate the implementation to allow application to print through Parallel Port because the hardware is changed...

For serial port (COM1...COMN) i used ESC/POS command..

is it possible continue to use ESC/POS and redirect the print to parrallel?..

exist documentation?..

i found many doc to print text only .
what i have to do to print image?

thanks

Solution 1

If you are on Windows OS then just get the driver for your printer, which will save you having to write the ESC codes yourself.

In the case of a parallel port there are parallel-to-serial converters for the cables.
