I'd like to, and I sorely want to, but... My work machine is a laptop without a real serial port. I have a weird little USB-to-serial adapter thingie made by Belkin sitting in the middle between the machine and the printer, and I have some sneaking suspicions about what it might be doing to my datastreams. I can't open it as a com port because it's only pretending to be a com port -- although it comes up on the system list of serial ports, attempting to access it directly throws a "port does not exist" error.
So first thing tomorrow, I'm going to figure out how to write to a USB port directly in either C# or VB.NET, and see if I can talk directly to the printer that way.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
