Windows & filePro Printers

[Bob Rasmussen]

Receipt printers also generally have Windows drivers these days, and those 
drivers have been getting better. These are well supported by Print 
Wizard, so one option would be to drive the printers via Print Wizard, 
using Print Wizard Markup Language to control fonts, spacing, etc.

If you can get your hands on the appropriate manual for the printer, devising the necessary filePro print codes is probably not a big job.
