Printing string to printer

I'm having trouble figuring out how to send a string to a label printer (Zebra 2844 or something like that) using a specific font in access. Apparently a lot of my troubles are stemming from the fact that the Printer object is not available in vba, and I'm not sure where to go from here. What I have managed to do is get a list of attached printers and the ports they are attached to so that the user can select a printer, but I have yet to figure out how to send the string I need to to the printer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
