Hi,

When do you use ?? over ???, ?? will go through the printer driver
whileas ??? will directly go to the printer.

Some ESC/POS command that I sent to printer using ?? didn't response
for example but work when I sent it using ??? command, any ideal why ?

* actual command is chr(27)+chr(83)+chr(1)
* but I sent using the control font, hence
* chr(27) is not sent with it
SET PRINTER FONT "control",10
?? chr(27)+chr(83)+chr(1)


You mention using Advanced Printer Driver so that you could use FoxPro Report Formats. Could you sent me a sample of your Advance Printer driver
sample as I also need to convert the API structure for VFP use since most
of the example given are in VB & C and the document that I get from their
website is rather brief. Next, what do you mean by use FoxPro Report format
with Advance Printer driver ? Any sample for my reference.

Finally, I need to use printer reply status from the ESC/POS or Advanced Printer Driver from the parallel interface as my application is a kiosk,
any printer out or paper out must stop all operation.
