Hi guys. I need to make some ASC commands get to the printer, but it seems to
me the printer spooler strips them off and puts another character in their
place. I noticed there's this 'Font selection' tab in printer properties,
does it happen to offer any possible solution for that ? By the way, I'm
using VB .NET. Thanks !

What you're trying to do is send raw data to the printer.

(I think the html colouring went wrong in the code in that article, but at a
glance it seems to contain the right words.)
