Hi

Based on my understanding, you wants to print something to a Receipt
printer.
The PrintDocuemnt class in 2003 and 2005 is almost similar.
Commonly, it is the printer driver that is actually working with the
printer.
In programming language, e.g. VB.NET we have high level class to do the
print job.
You may take a look at the PrintDocument class.
