Printing on a dot matrix

I am making an app that needs to print to an old 9 pin dot matrix printer. So far ever method I have used in VB sends the information to the printer in graphics mode. This makes for one real slow print.
Any ideas how to make use of the internal fonts?

Try:
Open "LPT1:" For Output As 1 and send the Prints Directly, using the Printer Emulation Specific Control Codes to Format the Text. This way you have total control over the Printer operations.
