Ah i think you've misunderstood me!
I have a Program i have written is Called from a custom POS button
and
it needs access to the printer.
all the peripherals (printer,cash drawer, scanner etc...) are working
perfectly from RMS.
but i need to get access the printer from my program while RMS is
still open.
This i can do if the cash Drawer is disconnected but not while it is
connected!
I hope i'm explaining my self correctly.
thanks again.
Rob.
