>We have a POS application purely written in VFP but we have a problem with printing sales invoice using POS printer. First we can not use Report Form because it should have specific size. Second, when using @..say..get, it does not print directly in the printer. Actually we have POS system before using FOX2.6 and we didn't encounter problem with @..say..get method. Is there an alternative of using @..say...get?
I don't know about POS, but I believe you basically want to print in text-mode, right?
An alternative to "@...say" is "?" and "??".
I think it is best to prepare an entire report, sending it to a text-file (either use "@...say" or "? / ??"), and then send printer setup codes (if required) and the text-file (loaded with FileToStr()) to the printer, with the "???" command.
