VB Application to Send Raw Data via Printer Driver
This is a sample Visual Basic program that checks for any printer driver attached to
“LPT1”. If one is installed then a DPL file can be printed via the print driver. **Note that
this does not have to be a Datamax-O’Neil DPL print driver. DPL is created by the
application and sent to LPT1.
To begin, a global variable called SelPrinter must be defined as a string. Then use the
following code to create a .frm file.
