Android Question Problem to print on integrated mobile printer

[Julio Montilla]

I have trouble printing with an integrated mobile point of sale printer. I have attached the image of the printer.

My code works well with bluetooth printer but with the integrated printer does not work.

My code is as follows

Public Sub DirectPrint(aPrinter As String, aData As String)
    Dim PairedDevices As Map
    Dim LocalBTMac As String
    Dim LocalOSerial As Serial
    Dim LocalPrinter As TextWriter
    OSerial.Initialize("OSerial")
    PairedDevices = OSerial.GetPairedDevices
    For i = 0 To PairedDevices.Size - 1
        Dim device As String = PairedDevices.GetKeyAt(i)
        If device.Contains(aPrinter) Then
            LocalBTMac = PairedDevices.get(device)
            LocalOSerial.Initialize("DirectPrint")
            LocalOSerial.Connect(LocalBTMac)
            Wait For DirectPrint_Connected (Success As Boolean)
            If Success Then
            '    LocalPrinter.Initialize(LocalOSerial.OutputStream)
                LocalPrinter.Initialize2(LocalOSerial.OutputStream,"windows-1252") 'important
                LocalPrinter.WriteLine(aData)
                LocalPrinter.Flush
                LocalPrinter.Close
                LocalOSerial.Disconnect
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Maybe you need to use their SDK? Is there any example project and/or SDK Available for this device?
What Manufacturer and what model exactly it is?

did anyone ever solve this problem of printing to an integrated printer?
I have same device but Android 6.
Built in POS steward prints perfect. including barcode etc.
Loyverse POS software works also but I need some help with my own B4A app to print to it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated including what libraries and how to install them.

On my Sunmi V1 print is ok, correct Oserial to LocalOSerial
buildin printer name is InnerPrinter, must be connected as Bluetooth device

Thank you so much! I needed to find my printers name. It contained "Printer" so that fixed the problem
also I forgot to attach the serial library. Been programming a long time but new to Android and B4A.
