http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37116 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-10-25 16:35 ------- Probably you are right, there may be someone somewhere that wants to print invoices with Vectorial Graphics or whatever, but writing a good java library to support escpos printers needs time, writing a FOP Renderer to easly print a page is a starting point... I've tyde up the code, and recoded for the trunk you posted me out. Andrea (In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #6) > > (In reply to comment #2) > > > Andrea, thank you for this.
