Im trying to make my old soft with b4a run on this device,but i can't do print. Some one gave me the sdk (source code and library) of the manufacturer that i can't use because i don't know how to implement in b4a. I need your helps to get a small code to test the printer nb: 1- the apk delivred in this sdk work fine and makes printer test 2- I found a post wrote by Victor Medrano with a library 'Cprinterlib' but without samples and how to use, if possible a help Thanks

MicroDrie Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 9, 2022 #2 I think your first problem is connecting to the printer. After that, your second problem is to control the printer with the correct printer codes. My experience with printers is that I usually manage to display a simple 12345 string followed by a CR/LF or at least get a response from the printer. I would start with something like the UsbSerial Ver 2.4 to see if it is possible to connect to the printer. Upvote 0

MicroDrie Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 11, 2022 #4 I'm happy to be able to help you on your way, maybe this will also help you to explore the ESC/POS codes in Line Thermal Printer ESC/POS® Mode Command Specifications Revision 2.52. Be aware that the installed driver perhaps not all possibilities support in case its supports an older build-in software version. Upvote 0
