Hello all! It's now 8:10 am and I have been trying multiple solutions since 9:00 pm. I figured this would be a simple task and wow, have I been proven wrong.
First, I have been utilizing a print class (subclass) to handle my printing needs. I've been asked to have different font sizes utilized for the same page. Sounds simple...um, no. In VB6 I remember doing anything I wanted in printing! This is the only app I've had that required printing to a receipt printer or a laser printer.
I was sending multiple print calls to separate my font size parameters:
string text = "**ONLINE ORDER**\r\n\r\n" +
"Order Ready at:\r\n";
var printHead = new ReceiptPrint();
printHead.TextToPrint = text;
printHead.Print();
text = deliveryDate.ToShortDateString() + "\r\n" + deliveryTime.ToShortTimeString() + "\r\n";
var printDT = new ReceiptPrint();
printDT.PrinterFont = new Font("Arial", 20);
printDT.TextToPrint = text;
printDT.Print();
Unfortunately, this will print a separate page for each printer call. Is there anything I can research (specifically) to print text with varied font sizes on the same page? I know it has to be possible because apps print multiple font sizes, colors, etc. all the time. I do not want the print dialogue box to appear, this needs to print to direct to default printer.
Can anyone offer some insight or point me in the right direction, please?
