Hi everyone,

I am planning to build a thesis system (Point of sale) using VB.NET and MySQL
but i am not familiar with thermal printers regarding how to manipulate and make commands using vb.net and i do not know which seems to be the best thermal printer to integrate that will not cost us too much time in development process to study its own commands for thermal printer.

Please if anyone of you have their own experiences please do make some suggestions base on your own preferences, disadvantages and advantages.

We would like to use standard thermal printers and the right software if any that will help us to maximize our development time

There is no "best" thermal printer for VB.NET. The language doesn't matter at all.

What does matter is if the printer meets your applications requirements. They're going to come in two flavors. One is it works with a normal Widows printer driver and works the same as any other printer and the other is it'll work through the low-level commands and data you send to the port it's attached to. Either way, they are all pretty much going to work the exact same way as far as your code is concerned.
