在 C# 中打印到 LPT1

Printing to LPT1 in C#

提问by

How do you print directly to a dot matrix printer in C# using file LPT1.

如何使用文件 LPT1 直接打印到 C# 中的点阵打印机。

I did it on C++ with fopen, but I don't know how to do it in c#.

我用 fopen 在 C++ 上做了，但我不知道如何在 c# 中做。

thank you very much

非常感谢您

Set up the printer in Windows as Generic/Text Only, then print to it.

在 Windows 中将打印机设置为 Generic/Text Only，然后打印到它。

Here's the code I use to print to a label printer that has its own encoded text format.

这是我用来打印到具有自己编码文本格式的标签打印机的代码。

        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);

        bytes = br.ReadBytes(nLength);
        // Allocate some unmanaged memory for those bytes.
        pUnmanagedBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);
        // Copy the managed byte array into the unmanaged array.
        Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Send the unmanaged bytes to the printer.
        bSuccess = SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pUnmanagedBytes, nLength);
        // Free the unmanaged memory that you allocated earlier.
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pUnmanagedBytes);
        return bSuccess;
    }
    public static bool SendStringToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szString)
    {
        IntPtr pBytes;
        Int32 dwCount;
        // How many characters are in the string?
        dwCount = szString.Length;
        // Assume that the printer is expecting ANSI text, and then convert
        // the string to ANSI text.
        pBytes = Marshal.StringToCoTaskMemAnsi(szString);
        // Send the converted ANSI string to the printer.
        bool success = SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pBytes, dwCount);
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes);
        return success;
    }
}
}

Then this is called from another class like this:

然后从另一个类调用它，如下所示：

    private bool PrintLabels(string printerName)
    {
        return RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(printerName, this.Text);
    }

Maybe you cannot print to the device "LPT1" but to a "dumb teletype printer" that you have to install first. If they exist in modern windows.... So you should print to "mydumbprinter" which in its turn uses LPT1 as printer port. It appeared to me as I followed the Source link by Cocowalla above - there you select a printer in a PrinterDialog. The resulting printer name would more likely be "Laserjet" than "LPT1".

也许您无法打印到设备“LPT1”，而是打印到您必须先安装的“哑电传打印机”。如果它们存在于现代窗口中......所以你应该打印到“mydumbprinter”，它反过来使用 LPT1 作为打印机端口。当我按照上面 Cocowalla 的 Source 链接进行操作时，在我看来 - 您在 PrinterDialog 中选择了一台打印机。生成的打印机名称更可能是“Laserjet”而不是“LPT1”。

In C# its possible, first you need to connect to that port using the CreateFilemethod then open a filestream to that port to finally write to it. Here is a sample class that writes two lines to the printer on LPT1.

在 C# 中它可能，首先你需要使用该CreateFile方法连接到那个端口，然后打开一个文件流到那个端口，最后写入它。这是一个示例类，它在 上向打印机写入两行LPT1。

using Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace YourNamespace
{
public static class Print2LPT
        {
            [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
            static extern SafeFileHandle CreateFile(string lpFileName, FileAccess dwDesiredAccess,uint dwShareMode, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, FileMode dwCreationDisposition, uint dwFlagsAndAttributes, IntPtr hTemplateFile);

            public static bool Print()
            {
                string nl = Convert.ToChar(13).ToString() + Convert.ToChar(10).ToString();
                bool IsConnected= false;

                string sampleText ="Hello World!" + nl +
                "Enjoy Printing...";     
                try
                {
                    Byte[] buffer = new byte[sampleText.Length];
                    buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sampleText);

                    SafeFileHandle fh = CreateFile("LPT1:", FileAccess.Write, 0, IntPtr.Zero, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
                    if (!fh.IsInvalid)
                    {
                        IsConnected= true;                    
                        FileStream lpt1 = new FileStream(fh,FileAccess.ReadWrite);
                        lpt1.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                        lpt1.Close();
                    }

                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    string message = ex.Message;
                }

                return IsConnected;
            }
        }
}

Assuming your printer is connected on the LPT1port, if not you will need to adjust the CreateFilemethod to match the port you are using.

假设您的打印机连接在LPT1端口上，否则您需要调整CreateFile方法以匹配您使用的端口。

you can call the method anywhere in your program with the following line

您可以使用以下行在程序中的任何位置调用该方法

Print2LPT.Print();

I think this is the shortest and most efficient solution to your problem.

我认为这是解决您问题的最短和最有效的解决方案。
