     }
     }
    }
    
    

    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
                {

                }
