Step 1: To fix this issue Create one more class file with name RawPrinterHelper.cs with below definition (Download):
using Microsoft.VisualBasic; using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace POSPrintExample { public class RawPrinterHelper { // Structure and API declarions: [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)] public class DOCINFOA { [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pDocName; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pOutputFile; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string pDataType; } [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "OpenPrinterA", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool OpenPrinter([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string szPrinter, ref IntPtr hPrinter, IntPtr pd); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "ClosePrinter", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool ClosePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "StartDocPrinterA", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool StartDocPrinter(IntPtr hPrinter, Int32 level, [In(), MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)] DOCINFOA di); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "EndDocPrinter", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool EndDocPrinter(IntPtr hPrinter); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "StartPagePrinter", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool StartPagePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "EndPagePrinter", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool EndPagePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter); [DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint = "WritePrinter", SetLastError = true, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] public static extern bool WritePrinter(IntPtr hPrinter, IntPtr pBytes, Int32 dwCount, ref Int32 dwWritten); // SendBytesToPrinter() // When the function is given a printer name and an unmanaged array // of bytes, the function sends those bytes to the print queue. // Returns true on success, false on failure. public static bool SendBytesToPrinter(string szPrinterName, IntPtr pBytes, Int32 dwCount) { Int32 dwError = 0; Int32 dwWritten = 0; IntPtr hPrinter = new IntPtr(0); DOCINFOA di = new DOCINFOA(); bool bSuccess = false; // Assume failure unless you specifically succeed. di.pDocName = "My C#.NET RAW Document"; di.pDataType = "RAW"; // Open the printer. if (OpenPrinter(szPrinterName.Normalize(), ref hPrinter, IntPtr.Zero)) { // Start a document. if (StartDocPrinter(hPrinter, 1, di)) { // Start a page. if (StartPagePrinter(hPrinter)) { // Write your bytes. bSuccess = WritePrinter(hPrinter, pBytes, dwCount, ref dwWritten); EndPagePrinter(hPrinter); } EndDocPrinter(hPrinter); } ClosePrinter(hPrinter); } // If you did not succeed, GetLastError may give more information // about why not. if (bSuccess == false) { dwError = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error(); } return bSuccess; } public static bool SendFileToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szFileName) { // Open the file.

SendBytesToPrinter(szPrinterName, pBytes, dwCount); Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes); return true; } } }
Step 2: Use below code for printing:
if (File.Exists(".\\tmpPrint.print"))
File.Delete(".\\tmpPrint.print");
File.WriteAllBytes(".\\tmpPrint.print", BytesValue);
RawPrinterHelper.SendFileToPrinter("POS1", ".\\tmpPrint.print");
try
{
File.Delete(".\\tmpPrint.print");
}
catch
{
