[英]Xamarin: How to print from Android device to dot matrix printer?
I have the following hardware: 我有以下硬件:
I have an Android Activity that create an invoice, so I want to print some text on printer. 我有一个可创建发票的Android活动,因此我想在打印机上打印一些文本。 But I can't make it work.
但是我不能使它工作。
I tried using USBManager with no success. 我尝试使用USBManager失败。 Is there any way to achieve this?
有什么办法可以做到这一点?
I found a solution. 我找到了解决方案。 It's the only way to make it works.
这是使其运作的唯一方法。 USBManager cannot access to printer because driver is missing.
USBManager无法访问打印机,因为缺少驱动程序。 So I tried with a WI-FI option.
因此,我尝试了WI-FI选项。
You need some extra hardware here: 您在这里需要一些额外的硬件:
First of all you must configure your Print Server. 首先,您必须配置打印服务器。 I did it following this tutorial .
我按照本教程进行操作 。
Now I have the Print Server pointing to my device (acting as Server) and waiting for any printer job. 现在,我将打印服务器指向我的设备(充当服务器)并等待任何打印机作业。
What I did on my Xamarin.Android project? 我在Xamarin.Android项目中做了什么?
Created an instance of a Socket class pointing to the Printer Server ;) 创建一个指向打印机服务器的Socket类的实例;)
No Epson command needed (Ok some of them). 无需爱普生命令(可以使用其中的一些命令)。 The code is the following:
代码如下:
private async Task SendCommand()
{
await Task.Run (() =>
{
try
{
Socket sock = new Socket("199.1.1.50", 9100);
PrintWriter oStream = new PrintWriter (sock.OutputStream, true);;
OutputStreamWriter outWriter;
oStream.Write(0x1B); //T1
oStream.Write(0x40); //T2 Start Printer
oStream.Print("This is great!!! á é í ó ú ü Ü Ñ ñ");
oStream.Write(0x0C); //release paper
oStream.Write(0x1B); //t1
oStream.Write(0x40); //t2 Finish Printer
oStream.Flush ();
oStream.Close ();
oStream.Dispose();
sock.Close ();
sock.Dispose();
}
catch(SocketException ex)
{
string m = ex.Message;
RunOnUiThread(() => Toast.MakeText(this, m, ToastLength.Long).Show());
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Toast.MakeText(this, ex.ToString(), ToastLength.Long).Show();
}
});
}
Now is working very fine. 现在工作得很好。
