How do i send a file using vb.net to an USB device e.g printer , where there
is no driver present?

Hi,

Why would you want to send a file to a USB printer? Couldn't
you just print it to get it to the printer?

Hi,

Thanks for replying me,
I am actually doing a printer testing software that require me to sent print
jobs to the printer. I understand what u are implying, but as part my
designing consideration, i do hope that i am able to bypass the installation
of the printer driver, because i the printers that i am going to test comes
in many sizes and model..

If i am able to directly send a printjob directly to the printer,i would
save the end user plenty of time. Present PrintDialog and Printdocument class
require me to install the driver, is there another alternative...?
