I'm working with an Epson ePOS printer TM-T20 and I've run the sdk sample and it works, however, I'm trying to write a small application to print. The printer is found successfully and the data is sent successfully but it doesn't print. IF anyone could help I'd appreciate it...here is my code:
Manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.garydoolin.newepsontest" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USB"></uses-permission>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

android:name=".MyActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
