Re: Send direct Escape Cmd to usb Printer on MacOS X



Please don't kill the CUPS daemon -- you will interfere with jobs that may be printing on the machine. By separate email I will send you sample code that you can use to dump printer-ready data to a USB printer.

Hello,

I am developing a MacOs X software to support multiple printing
for forgotten or very specific printers.
I don't want to write Tioga or Cups driver, but only to be able to
detect these USB printers and to directly send ESC cmd to them
on the usb port.
Is there a way to do that by using realbasic as development tool.

I think that a call system:

sudo killall - HUP cupsd
lpinfo - v

will be sufficient for the recognition of the usb printers.

But to send direct Escape cmd to usb printer port under RealBasic
give me some problems.

Thanks for the help.
