If you need to just send text to the printer port, you can either use the Printer object that's native to VB, or you can use the old file I/O method of simply Opening the &quot;lpt1:&quot; (or whatever port number) for output, then using the Print #&lt;file number&gt; statement to send data.<br />
<br />
Binary data might be a different story, though. :)

How to access lpt from visual basic

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
