Re: Printing in Windows CE

Joseph M. Newcomer a ?mis l'id?e suivante :


I thought the Windows API for printing (StartDoc(), EndDoc() and so on)
was usable for all compatible printers. When looking at the Internet I
find lot of pages about this API (for example :
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic4531.htm)

FYI, I get a user manual from Axiohm society, called "Compact Board
for MCTP/MHTP printer mechanisms". In fact you can find it for download
at the following page :

The printer is a continuous printer built in a selling terminal which
runs on Windows CE. Few information available ...

I tried to access directly to LPT1 port to send some control characters
as specified in the document I have, but nothing happens. Is it
possible to access LPT1 port in Windows CE ?

The code I used :

unsigned char msgPrinter[3];

        HANDLE hCom;
        hCom = CreateFile(_T("LPT1"),GENERIC_READ |
GENERIC_WRITE,0,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,0,NULL);
        DWORD dw;
        msgPrinter[0] = 0x0e;
        msgPrinter[1] = 0xFF;
        msgPrinter[2] = 0x00;
        BOOL b = WriteFile(hCom, msgPrinter, 2, &dw, NULL);
        if (!b)
        {
            // Rat?
            b = false;
        }

        CloseHandle(hCom);

Thank you.
