Is there such a thing as a virtual COM port receipt printer?
- by Blorgbeard
I'm debugging some code that writes directly to a COM port in order to print receipts on a receipt printer. The printer model is something like an Epsom TM-88.
Instead of printing reams of thermal paper while debugging this code, it would be nice if I could use some kind of virtual printer.
Like PDFCreator or FinePrint, but with a virtual COM port instead of a virtual windows printer.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
Edit: The code sends control characters to get bold text and other formatting. I'd like to see this in the output if possible.
