Printing to "text only" printer

[Simon Verona]

I have a receipt printer that is set up using a generic/text print driver.

I want to send a print to it.

The standard vb.net printing methodology seems a little bit of overkill.
Is there any way that I can simply "print" the data to the printer without
worrying about paging, fonts etc.

ie something like:

someobject.print "line 1" & vbcrlf
someobject.print "line 2" & vbcrlf

etc etc

Thanks in advance
Simon
