I need to draw bitmap graphics to an Epson printer over the parallel port *without* using the Printer object or the EndPage/EndDoc commands. <br />
Right now, I can print text using:<br />
<br />
Open &quot;LPT1&quot; for Output as #1<br />
<br />
Print #1, chr(2) &amp;&nbsp;chr(27) &amp;&nbsp;&quot;escape code here&quot; &amp;&nbsp;chr(3)<br />
Print #1, &quot;text to print&quot;<br />
<br />
Close #1<br />
<br />
But what I really need to do is draw a bitmap with a similar method. Can anyone help with this issue?
