print on a thermal printer for tickets store

[Porfi]

I need to print on a thermal printer for tickets store , the paper size is 80 x 297 mm which is not on the size shown me by default, the question is whether someone has printed by a thermal ticket printer by FreeReports Thanks .

solved : it was easy to simply reboot windows and I already recognized the printer and the default paper size.

Hi

Take care that thermal printer have special languagues (like EPL/ZPL for labels or esc/pos for ticket store, etc etc)

I think using freereport or lazreport will render throught gdi. I don't think it's the best solution.

In windows you can use direct printer functions to send text. I've example if you want...

Maybe on windows, but lazreport is definitely cross platform. No issue there.

By saying GDI i would say graphical, my apologies.
I've already try to print labels on a zebra printer with canvas... so slow !!
with this kind of hardware, direct print is the best way.

You can print RAW data directly to the printer using the printer class (I forget that) instead of using win api directly so it should be crossplatform
