epson tm-t88iii

[Guest]

Hello,
I am working on a project that print to a epson tm-t88iii on a serial Com
port. I have already used ActiveReports to print to the printer and also have
used printdocument. Both run very slow. Talked to epson and they said to use
non-true type fonts. So my questions are these:

1. How to use non-true type fonts in vb.net?
2. How to print directly to the printer without using the printdocument or
ActiveReports ( both seem to create a graphic and then send it to the printer
which is slowing the printing somewhat.)

Any help would be great. Thanks

Matt

You can only use TrueType and OpenType fonts with .NET.
