What kind of receipt printer? A real receipt printer? If so, you really should see if the manfacture follows OPOS standards and has a developer kit that includes either DLLs or ActiveX controls or both. Epson does. I easily integrated their DLLs and ActiveX control into my VFP apps. I use the Epson TM88-II receipt printers. The Epson DK is available free from their web site.
