Delphi printing to Zebra printer -


i have written function prints out zplii data zebra printer shown below

var   st : string;  startdocument(docname); startpage; try i:=0 datatoprint.count-1  begin   st:=formatprintline(i);    try     escape(printerhandle,passthrough,length(st),pansichar(st),nil);    except on e:exception     begin       getwin32apierrormessage(ferrorcode,ferrortext);       raise eprinter.createfmt('printer write error %d'+#13+                                'while printing '+printername+#13+                                errortext,[errorcode]);      end;    end;  end;  endpage;  enddocument; 

i have tested label data using command prompt print text file , label prints out correctly cannot print application. if pause printer can see job gets sent printer , size of job 2.12kb, size label should be, nothing prints out. light on zebra printer data lights nothing print. have tried 2 of zebra printers own, not printer issue. guess @ point maybe program isn't sending entire label data printer , end never received when trace through send request, everthing sent properly. printer shows job has 0/0 pages label cannot understand why not sending label. there special needs go @ end of label data besides ^xz termination character? using delphi xe3 if helps.

thanks everyone's able print labels using following changes:

st: ansistring; ... startdocument(docname); startpage; try  i:=0 datatoprint.count-1   begin    st:=formatprintline(i);     try      writeprinter(printerhandle,pchar(st),length(st),n);     except on e:exception      begin        getwin32apierrormessage(ferrorcode,ferrortext);        raise eprinter.createfmt('printer write error %d'+#13+                                'while printing '+printername+#13+                                errortext,[errorcode]);       end;     end;   end;  endpage;  enddocument; 

i had change writeprinter instead of escape. escape did not print out after change st type ansistring writeprinter successful.
