Hi,

and printer is dot matrix. Invoice is a continues paper with
pre-printed headers like First Name, Last Name, SSN# etc. and after
each header their are some blank block like for SSN# 9 small box. I hv
to print each digit in seprate box. When I tried using following code
it print 1st and 2nd digit on correct place but for the next one goes
between two box
ColPosX = 100
RowPosY = 100
ev.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.Black, ColPosX,
RowPosY, New stringFormat)

I tried to change the ColPosX and RowPosY for digits but for first 2 or

3 digit it print on correct place then rest in b/w the boxs
Can any one help me to do this..
I hv to print complete form/invoice page in box.
Is there any other way to do this...

What is your print font? That may cause you problems. How do you have
the printer installed on the computer? You may want to try and do raw
printing to the printer, I had success with my reciept printer that way.
