I need to print to a receipt printer. Very basic stuff, nothing fancy. Is there a general driver that can be loaded to use these printers or I have to load printer specific drivers. Can I output the WD report output to a receipt printer or I need to use low-level output (escape commands).

issah

In this cases you normally use only a few escape sequences(bold,underline...), fopen/fwrite is enough. You don't have to worry about drivers and so.
