Do you have the printer programming manual? Can you find out if it accepts TCP/IP connections?

I've found that it's sometimes easier to send information directly to the printer, rather than use the driver, as it gives you more possibilities.

For example, we have numerous Toshiba label printers here. Rather than install the printer driver on each printer, I just send the label definition to the printer via TCP.

right now we are using java software to do the task (of printing the tokens) and i think it does accept TCP/IP connections
since java turns the system slow so we are tryin to migrate it to .net platform
