Re^3: Raw Data to Printer on Win XP

Hi,

I think what you are looking for is for a perl module or code that allows you to print to the Windows Print API ... you can do so using Win32::Printer. You will also want to use Win32::Printer::Enum to determine which printers are available.

hope this helps

I was quite hopeful when I first ran across Win32::Printer during the course of this current quest. In fact, I went ahead and installed it for use later with other projects. But in reading and re-reading the docs. And in re-reading them yet again before responding to your suggestion just now, I can find no way to use that module to send a raw string as-is directly to the printer. After my eyes got "scrolled-out" I finally tried a text search for 'raw' and 'direct' in the pod. But no good. I'd love for you to point out the option for that module I have missed that allows such a thing.	[reply]
