Re: printing on roll paper
Hello Friend ,
You are not able to Print Line by Line.
But You can find out page height Dyamically.
So Put the Page Height based on Number of Lines,You try to Print

Re: printing on roll paper
printer.print "text to print"
printer.enddoc
these two command line was proven if u install the appropriate driver of the printer. some printer worked fine on driver like LX-300 but some did not.
if u add printer.newpage on top it feeds lot of paper.
