Can PCL Commands be issued via the VB Printer Object? If so, how? If not, what's the alternative(s)? For example, I'd like to use the PC-8 Symbol Set to print graphic line characters for "boxing" areas of a report - e.g., Chr(201), Chr(205), Chr(187), etc.

You really can't use the printer object to send pcl commands. To send things direct to the printers you need to dig into the printing api's. I don't have an example right now but maybe someone else does (pressed for time)
