                        } catch (Exception e) {

                        }
                    }
                };
                t.start();
            }
        });



I need to print text not bitmap or image

What I have tried:

try to add encoded as charset " UTF-8 " and not working for Arabic characters
and also tried to Add "ISO-8859-6" encode not working
tried to change the sittings of thermal printer and change code page to "ISO-8859-6" also not working

You probably need to talk to the printer manufacturer about this - it's almost certainly a case of the wrong font being used, but how you select a font on the printer will likely depend on the make / model.

Google will find you tech support in your country.
