I think there may be difficulty in sending control characters to a dot matrix printer using the standard windows printing system, so I'm not sure you can just send character 15 to the printer....

Troy in our office mentioned that Windows supports a "plain text" printer driver that has limited capabilities (ie, might not support networkable connections etc.) but does allow you to send control codes.

I'm sure I read an article in MSDN about this topic, when reviewing material on how to write a printer driver (we flirted with writing a fax printer driver years and years ago), and remember reading a passage about this.

Sorry I don't have a more specific solution.

Just send ASCII character #15

==================
The original message was:

In my application I am sending plain text to the dot matrix printer. I am having problems to force the printer to print the text in condenced mode.

Can someone please help me with this.

Thank you
