Sending a String directly to a Printer 2

[dlombardi]

Hello I'm trying to send a string directly to a printer.

I am writing an application that collects data created a crystal report and sent it to a pcl printer that is a virtual printer that another App captures the spool file from to create a new document with additional info.

When I send the crystal report for some reason it's not coming over as PCL.

I am trying to send a plain Text string to see if that is sufficient. but don't know how to do this as I have always used Crystal.

I would appreciate any help>
