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!
