Hey,

Here is my problem...I have written a program in C++ that allows me to use print.open("LPT1") to print right to the port, NOT a network printer. I have an Addmaster, which you can see at click on products, and down the bottom click IJ2040. This is what i have to print to. Windows does not recognize it as an installable printer, so i have to find a way to send the data right to the port where the addmaster sucks it in and prints. The reason i am switching from C++ to VB(if possible) is so the program is more user friendly.

Any help anyone can give me, any source code, or anything at all...please do.

Thanks,
Ryan...
