SENDING PRINTER ESCAPE CODES WITH LPRINT

Post by CryptoMan »

How can we send RAW Printer Escape codes to DOT MATRIX LEXMARK 2580 printer connected with a USB cable?

Windows 10/11 printer driver seems to be stripping ESC Codes sent with LPRINT?

There are various discussions on Internet about this with Delphi, etc.

There must be a way to send raw one byte characters to a text printer without letting windows driving this printer like crazy graphics printer with it's own idea of fonts, etc.

Can't we just LPRINT like good old MS DOS days?

I just want to use factory built fonts inside the printer and control everything myself by sending the ESC CODES like Epson ESC P.
