As i read in some fingerprint manual we can send text file to the printer. Means we can write the program in the text editor and send the whole program as a text file to the printer using the communication program using some transfer commands. for in my host there is a file called myfile.txt in D:/ with the fallowing data

10 PRPOS 200,200
20 DIR 3
30 ALIGN 5
40 PRIMAGE “GLOBE.1”
50 PRINTFEED
RUN

How can i send this file to printer and execute the instrucations to print the image. Please give me some code reference.

There are several ways to do this from the command line. For example:

type foo.txt > lpt1:

Or

copy foo.txt lpt1:

Or

print foo.txt

Or

notepad /p foo.txt

If you need to do it programmatically, you can execute any of those commands using the system() function or CreateProcess().
