    Dot matrix printer

    My application uses a dot matrix printer to create a chronological hardcopy
    log user actions. In VB6 I opened the LPT port and wrote teh string to the
    printer. this doesn't seem possible under VB.Net. How can a print lines to
    the printer and have them print immediatley instead of wainting for the
    entire page to fill then print?

    Dan: You could try porting this technique to VB.NET:
