USB printer interface

Hello, I have aBOCA usb printer, that is used for ticket printing on venues. It works under 2 different modes, one is HP PCL printer emulation and the other one is FGL (friendly ghost language) that is used sending ascii instructions through the USB port it is connected to. I need to do a benchmark for a project using both methods, so I need a way to write ascii values directly to the USB port using C#. How can I do this?

Is speed an issue? If not you can buy a USB to serial convertor ( cable ) and write it as if it is a usb port. I am not sure if you can do it directly as if it is a serial port. I done it with a convertor. For a few dollars, you can avoid hours of searching for info or 3rd party software. i used it myself. Writing to a serial port is really simple, even simpler if you use visual studio 2005.

Well, you see, sometimes they need to print tickets for a 100,000 seats events, so speed IS an issue.
