#162123 - No single sample code for generic serial printers.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A serial printer sample for any serial printer? But what makes you think one serial printer uses the same protocol as another serial printer?

A serial printer may be a dot max printer. Or a tiny thermal printer. Or a laser printer. All have different requirements.

But if you ignore the protocol of different printers, then you are down to just serial. The FAQ on this page has examples. And Google has plenty of examples of how to use the serial port. Which examples have you already looked at?
