The below routine opens the drawer independent of the printer. I do
need to set the printer but nothing prints.
When there is a cash sale, I open the drawer when the receipt prints.
For credit and debit, the receipt prints but the drawer doesn't open. I
also have a menu selection to just open the drawer.
Your method would certainly be preferred if you are not using a receipt
printer.
