Hello All,
Can anyone suggest me a method for Bill Printing (or Cash Memo printing).
What will be easier, using report designer or hand coded report programs.
Thanks in advance.
With best regards.

IMHO, since it is a single time effort, it will be fine if we do it hard coded.
I suggest a pre-printed format (for laser printer/dot matrix printer) to reduce the printer stationery cost.

I'm using hard-coded forms - too much variants for using report designer...

@...PRINT commands were designed to print at exact page locations despite printer and paper used.
So, in combination with pre-printed forms is a good way to go.
Sadly, here, most business (there are exceptions) are obligated to use 'fiscal printers'. A print device that takes care of the complete job (even invoice numbering). You must connect to it via serial port (newer models via USB) and send to it a set of 'esoteric' commands to generate an invoice.
Sadly, there is not a standard for the commands, so, each brand, has its own command set.
As you can imagine, a terrible nightmare
