I recently bought a 58mm usb thermal recepit printer and i am having difficulty sending commands to the device. I was able to connect the device using the VISA device manger and know its a NI-Visa raw usb device. Using the example usb raw bulk example i can send text to the device, however i can't send commands to the printer, it will only print out the commands and not implement them. An example is if i wanted to print the logo the ASCII command is GS \ m, which m is used to alter the size. When i send the data the printer will just print that command on the receipt. My question is how do i send a command to the print and have the print know its a command.

I used the driver provided by the vendor at first and could test print, however I thought i had use labview wizard in order to have the device work in labview, i followed the USB instrument control tutorial. Also i ask the vendor for the usb raw information however they only responed by sending me a second copy of command codes that i already found.
