    Angry Printing through parallel port

    I am developing a POS application and instead of using the Printer object I need to send data directly to the printer using the parallel port. Someone said it was:

    [VBOCDE]Open "LPT1:" for output as #1
    print #1, Data
    close #1[/Highlight]

    This just locks up my WinME machine. I am new to the subject so if you could provide links to tutorials/articles etc I would be very grateful. Thanks for reading this!
