I need to print barcodes on a Zebra Printer. In order to do this I must be
able to send a series of control strings directly to the printer in Visual
Basic .NET. In the DOS days or in Visual Fox Pro it is simple enough to do.
I have tried using the System.Drawing.Printing object as well as modifying
the examples offered by Microsoft with out any luck. Each method that I
have tried either adds additional characters to the string or leaves
characters out. Anyone have any suggestion how I may send strings to the
printer without modification?

Thanks
Michael
