Question:
How do I write a raw string of a data to the printer?
The following unit "PrtRaw.pas" demonstrates a 16/32 bit
raw printing unit for Delphi and Borland C Builder.
Following the unit, is an exmaple on using the
PrtRaw unit.
Notes:
1) You are responsible for embedding all necessary
control codes that the printer may require (including
form feed codes).
2) You must specify a valid printer and port name.
