[AccessD] Print Receipt with embedded escape codes

I did this with Access 2.0 back in the 90.  I did not have an actual 
report, I just assembled a string of text that needed printing on the 
receipt printer.  I formatted it manually with the control codes 
embedded in the string.  The printer was on a serial port and I just 
wrote to the serial port.  Of course that was 11 years ago so more than 
that I cannot help you with.
