I am trying to print a short access report on Epson LX-300+II and I have two problems:
1)the report begins to print with 15 seconds delay
2)I can't choose the font I need, respectively Draft Condensed, because it don't show up in my Text Box Property Sheet
After some investigation, I have come to the conclusion that maybe I need a way to use the printer built-in font but I don't know how to format the report to achieve that . Can anyone help me with this?
 
Uncle Gizmo, thank you for the links. Unfortunately, they did not help me. However, I found some interesting things, especially in the third link. For my part, somehow I managed to solve the problem with the delay by unchecking bi-directional support in the printer driver settings. To my surprise, this change had the effect of instantly sending the report to the printer. Regarding the need of condensed font, I managed to get what I wanted by adjusting the cpi (characters per inch) to a satisfactory value. Not perfect, but for now an acceptable substitute.
