Line Printer Class in C#

Re: Not working in VB.NET

3-Mar-13 21:28

First problem is because you use "Name" (capitalized) instead of "name" (lowercase). C# is a case sensitive language, and you can have both "Name" and "name" defined and being two different things. In this case "Name" is the property Form.Name, and "name" is your defined string. Please note that "name" is already a string, so there's no need to write: name.ToString();

You can solve the second issue by using the "String.Format()" function, making also the code more readable. For example:

MyPrinter.Print(String.Format("{0:000} {1,-20:} {2:###0.00} {3:000} {4:######,00}\r\n",sr,name,price,qty,amount));

Check the guide on how to use the formatting codes.

Hope it helps

Re: Make gujrati print in C#

for VB.net you have to build a dll for it, as the code was written in C# (sorry).

If you have Visual Studio with C# installed do the following:

1) open the attached example project
2) from project property page, change from "winform application" to "library class" project.
3) recompile the application
4) now you have the needed .dll in the bin/Debug or bin/Release
5) add reference to this .dll in your VB project
6) Use namespace LPrinterTest and start using the LPrinter class

This class is just perfect for what I needed to do. It's easy to use and works brilliantly! Thank you so much.

you can't directly print Gujurati characters, because line printer predefined fonts are only for occidental languages.

But you can use the printer in "graphic mode", although it's more complex and you don't take full advantage of line printing speed. Essentially you plot your text characters onto a bitmap and then send it to the printer. My line printer C# class does't cover this, but if you read past comments in this article you'll find how to extend the class for graphic printing.

Hi!
This sample code helps me to print Croatian (localised) characters. I searched a lot but cant find solution. Finally I got idea and will share with you guys. It works for me. I think that you should have printer with code page for your country installed in room. If not You should deal with loading soft fonts in printer then print.

public bool Print(string outputstring)
      {
         if(HandlePrinter==IntPtr.Zero) return false;

         Encoding enc852 = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(852) ;
         byte[] bytes852 = enc852.GetBytes(outputstring);
         int nLength = Convert.ToInt32(bytes852.Length);
         // Allocate unmanaged memory for those bytes.
         IntPtr pBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);
         // Moral copy direct without any changes to string or bytes
         Marshal.Copy(bytes852, 0, pBytes, nLength);
         // Send the unmanaged bytes to the printer
         int dwWritten = 0;
         bool bSuccess = WritePrinter(HandlePrinter, pBytes, nLength, out dwWritten);
         // Free the unmanaged memory that you allocated earlier.
         Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes);
         if (!bSuccess) return false;
         else return true;
      }
public bool PrintLine(string outputstring)
       {
           // add string for LFCR or use ESC seq this could be faster for lot of lines
           outputstring += "\r\n";
           return this.Print(outputstring);
       }

This is ESC sequences class so you can make one class for each specific printer if like. I use this for POSIFLEX aura 8000 pos printer.

Use this code like this:

LPrinter lp = new LPrinter();
CEscape esq = new CEscape();
// use this to initialize printer and set code page for your country and international table
// ask your dealer for ESC POS sequences table - documentation
lp.Print(esq.InitializePrinter()+ esq.SelectCP852()+ esq.SetEXYuFont()+ esq.SetNormalFont());
lp.Print(esq.SetDoubleHeightFontA() + esq.BoldON() + esq.PrintCenterText() + "Select font A and print bolded double height + "\r\n");
lp.PrintLine(esq.PrintCenterText() + esq.SetNormalFont() + "This is printed centered on paper");
lp.Print(esq.OpenCashDrawer2Pin());
lp.Print(esq.OpenCashDrawer5Pin()); 
lp.Print(esq.PrintAndFeedPaper(2));
lp.Print(esq.CutPaper());

On the end very BIG thanks to Antonio because i got an idea when saw his article.

Line Printer Class problem

Zil-e-Huma16-Aug-11 1:03

16-Aug-11 1:03

Hi,
The Line Printer class given by u was useful in printing string in real time, can you please tell me that how can i change this code to plot graphical data at real time. As in the code there is WritePrinter() function but in the Windows Spooler API no such function is available which tells the printer to draw a plot (instead of printing string) and then stop the spooler at the middle of the page. Please tell me how can i do that. please reply me as soon as possible.

Antonino Porcino16-Aug-11 3:55

there is no easy way to print graphics on a line printer (keep in mind they were firstly designed to print text-only). Basically you have to draw your image onto a monochromatic bitmap canvas and then convert such canvas into special printer codes (that can be later sent with the LinePrinter class). You convert line by line, scanning from top to bottom, turning pixels into bytes and sending them after a special ESC sequence.

The details are described in this manual, paragraph 5.4 "Graphics" on page 18. Note the the examples are written in GW-BASIC where the LPRINT command is the equivalent of LinePrinter.Print() method.

Hope it helps someway.

Zil-e-Huma16-Aug-11 17:50

16-Aug-11 17:50

Ok thank you. But how can i draw my points (locations) onto a monochrome bitmap canvas for converting into special printer codes. This thing is really new for me. I think you are asking me to store my coordinates as a graph into a bmp file and then to print it through LPrinter Class. How you tell me how can i do that. I ll be very thankful if you solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Zil-e-Huma16-Aug-11 19:42

16-Aug-11 19:42

I am able to create a bitmap out of the coordinates which i want to plot and also can store it in an image file (bmp,jpeg, etc). Now can you please guide me that how can i step forward.. which you said as... """and then convert such canvas into special printer codes (that can be later sent with the LinePrinter class). You convert line by line, scanning from top to bottom, turning pixels into bytes and sending them after a special ESC""".
can you please tel me how can i do this all?

Antonino Porcino16-Aug-11 20:57

16-Aug-11 20:57

Sorry, I don't have access to a physical Line Printer right now, so I can't write and test the code for you. More or less it should be something like this:

First, you need to be able to send "bytes" to the printer with a method like this:

public void PrintByte(LinePrinter PRN, int b)
{
   byte[] buf = new byte[1];
   buf[0] = (byte) b;
   System.Text.UTF8Encoding enc = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
   string str = enc.GetString(buf);
   PRN.Print(str);
}

then you need a bitmap scanning routine that converts pixels into printer codes:

public void PrintBitmap(LinePrinter PRN, Bitmap bmp)
{
   int width  = bmp.Width;
   int height = bmp.Height - bmp.Height % 8;

   int numbytes = height;
   int lo = numbytes & 255;
   int hi = numbytes >> 8;

   for(int y=0;y<height;y+=8)
   {
       PrintByte(27);
       PrintByte(75);
       PrintByte(lo);
       PrintByte(hi);

       for(int x=0;x<width;x++)
       {
          int b = 0;
          for(int i=0;i<=7;i++)
          {
             Color c = bmp.GetPixel(x,y+i);
             if(c==Color.Black) b = b | (1 << (7-i));
          }
          PrintByte(b);
       }

Short explanation: scanning is done from top to bottom, each line is composed of 8 vertical pixel. All is done with the "ESC K" printer command, that enables you to define and print a single line raster bit image on a single text line. From the printer manual:

• n1 and n2 define the number of bytes that comprise the image.
• The image consists of 256*n2+n1 bytes of data, each byte representing a single vertical column of
4/30".
• Images are printed left to right.
• Images are printed at a horizontal resolution of 60 dots per inch and at an approximate vertical resolution of 72 dots per inch.
• Each byte represents a vertical column of eight dots, the most significant bit representing the dot at the top. Simply set a bit to 1 if you want a dot to appear in that position, and to 0 if you want white space to appear.

As said above, I have not tested the code on a real printer so I won't be surprised if it doesn't work at first try.

Thankyou so much for providing me the solution, but i am really sorry i cannot understand the logic, that what are you trying to do. I have tried to understand that but i am not getting command over it so as to use it for my purpose, i have called the PrintBitmap() at the place where there we were calling MyPrinter.Print() in the LPrinter class. But (as you already anticipated), the code is not working. It isnt printing out anything. i have tried to make some changes in it but as i dont really understand the logic behind this code so i am not succesful in making modification in the code in such a way as to serve my purpose.
Please guide me, i am new in this thing. i am sending you the code so that you may point out the point where i am making mistake, i am saying again that as i dont understand the logic so i cant make this code work to serve my purpose. please help me out.

try with a larger bitmap (8x8 is very small), e.g. 300x300 and debug what values are being passed to the PrintByte() method. The bitmap should be monochromatic, Color.Red is not possible; use Color.Black and Color.White only. Correct also if(c==Color.White) into if(c==Color.Black) unless you want a "negative" image.

Try also running this small test:

for(int y=0;y<9;y++)
{
   int lo=100;
   int hi = 0;
   PrintByte(27);
   PrintByte(75);
   PrintByte(lo);
   PrintByte(hi);
   for(int x = 0; x<100; x++) PrintByte(255);
}

it should come out a black square.

Sorry, this is all I can do without having access to a real Line Printer.

ok... Thankyou so much. but can you tell me that whether i am calling the functions correctly at the correct places?
Also one problem is that as the Line printer class does not eject paper unless we provide it with "\n\r" then how can we print the paper unless we dont give it the linefeed or so. Considering this if i write the code in such a way that after calling the PrintBitmap() i call MyPrinter.Writeprinter() then the printer just takes into account the linefeed and ejects blank paper without printing anything on it.

Antonino Porcino17-Aug-11 5:32

yes the function calls are seemingly correct. Please report the result of the test of my previous message: did you see a black rectangle printed on paper?

I haven't understood your question about line feeds; each TEXT line must be followed by "\r\n". The whole paper sheet can be ejected with the special code "Form Feed" (see article). If I remember well, graphics printing doesn't need line feeds (but I might be wrong).

If you have further questions please write me privately, my email is iz8bly at yahoo.it. Specify the type of printer you are using and attach the result of your print testings (jpgs,whatever).

Yes a dotted black square is coming out using that test code.
But my Bit map printing is not giving any results. It doesnot print out anything. So it seems that there is some problem with the handling of the bitmap image. I have displayed that bitmap into a picture box and the picture box shows the image, so it means that the bitmap has been created succesfully but there is some problem with my using that bitmap into the PrintBitmap() function. Here is my code. Can you please guide me about the problem.
I am only pasting those functions which are seemingly causing problems (not the whole form class)

//creating bitmap
System.Drawing.Bitmap CreateBitmap()
{
int x, y;

System.Drawing.Bitmap flag = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(300, 300);

for (x = 0; x < flag.Height; ++x)
for (y = 0; y < flag.Width; ++y)
flag.SetPixel(x, y, Color.White);

for (x = 0; x < flag.Height; ++x)
flag.SetPixel(x, x, Color.Black);

return flag;
}

//the print button
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!MyPrinter.Open("Test Page")) return;
PrintBitmap();
MyPrinter.Print("\n\r");

MyPrinter.Close();

}

public void PrintByte(int b)
{
byte[] buf = new byte[1];
buf[0] = (byte)b;
System.Text.UTF8Encoding enc = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
string str = enc.GetString(buf);
MyPrinter.Print(str);
}

public void PrintBitmap()
{
System.Drawing.Bitmap flag;
flag = CreateBitmap(); //calling bitmap creating function

pictureBox1.Image = flag;

int width = flag.Width;

int height = flag.Height - flag.Height % 8;

int numbytes = height;
int lo = numbytes & 255;
int hi = numbytes >> 8;

for (int y = 0; y < height; y += 8)
{
PrintByte(27);
PrintByte(75);
PrintByte(lo);
PrintByte(hi);

for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
{
int b = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 7; i++)
{
Color c = flag.GetPixel(x, y + i);
if (c == Color.Black)
b = b | (1 << (7 - i));
}
PrintByte(b);
}
}
}

ok, found 2 bugs...

First is int numbytes = width; not int numbytes = height;

Second bug is in the if(c==Color.Black), for some reason the test fails even if the color is Black. I've changed it to if(c.GetBrightness()<0.5) so it works even with color bitmaps, not only black and white.

The method is now:

public void PrintBitmap()
{
   System.Drawing.Bitmap flag = CreateBitmap(); //calling bitmap creating function

   pictureBox1.Image = flag;

   int width = flag.Width;

   int height = flag.Height - flag.Height % 8;

   int numbytes = width;
   int lo = numbytes & 255;
   int hi = numbytes >> 8;

   for (int y = 0; y < height; y += 8)
   {
      PrintByte(27);
      PrintByte(75);
      PrintByte(lo);
      PrintByte(hi);

      for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
      {
         int b = 0;
         for (int i = 0; i <= 7; i++)
         {
            Color c = flag.GetPixel(x, y + i);
            if(c.GetBrightness()<0.5)
            {
               b = b | (1 << (7 - i));
            }
         }
         PrintByte(b);
      }
   }
}

tell me if it does work.

I have made these changes. Sorry it is still not working. Even the printer spooler is not moving and page is not coming out. I cant figure out the problem...

Zil-e-Huma17-Aug-11 23:32

17-Aug-11 23:32

oh it is printing out something now... but that is not my image, the shape being printed resembles my bitmap image and has a very small size,and is being printed twice in one line..

Antonino Porcino18-Aug-11 0:09

increase the size of the bitmap and, if you can, send me a snapshot of the output. My email is iz8bly at yahoo.it
