Hello. I have inherited a problem and am seeking help. We are currently creating a 4D application and need to use a Star Micronics SP300 register type printer (small width paper cash register type). We were apparently unaware of the fact that we would have to write a printer driver for it. I have the source for a driver that someone else wrote, but I need to know how 4D puts out data to be printed. First, I am not very Mac literate (esp wrt programming). I got this job by being the only non-COBOL 3GL knowledgable person on staff, some luck, huh? I can see two possible solutions: 1. You already have a driver and use it with 4D and you will let me buy or have your code 2. You will provide the format of the raw output data from 4D and I will muddle through the source I now have. In any case, if you know of any good information about writing a device driver, or some technical sources, please let me know. Thank you all very much in advance.
