Print using C# for thermal printer

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I am new to POS receipt printing. Once, a transaction is complete, my application should print a receipt for the customer using XPrinter POS 80C from a DataGridView with the following items: product name, quantity, subtotal, grand-total, transaction date, and the staff login id.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards

What I have tried:

I tried using DGVPrinter.cs; yes, it successfully printed out a receipt from the XPrinter POS 80c machine but the receipt was not organized with the afore-mentioned items from my DataGridView through ms SQL server 2014. So, do i require a print module for this task? I am so confused.
I have used google search and video tutorials on youtube, and couldn't get any suitable help topic on this.

BTW: I checked with everybody here and it may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us. All that your stressing the urgency does is to make us think you have left it too late, and want us to do it for you. This annoys some people, and can slow a response.

What you need to do is set up a PrintDocument[^] and select your thermal printer as the target.

You then handle the PrintPage event for each receipt you want to print, and format the information exactly as you want it on the printer. There is a link in the document to the PrintDocument.PrintPage Event (System.Drawing.Printing) | Microsoft Docs[^] which includes a basic example.
