How to print in text mode in vb.net?

[Piotr Kowalski]

Or how to send a string directly do LPT?
Thanks in advance for help.

Well, I've tried the MS's sample, but it doesn't work.
It simply executes with no error, or anything else.
But when I try to print something from Notepad after that, the string
from example is printed before the text from Notepad!
Can you help me with that?

Funny, it started to work properly, when I've added the vbCrLf at the
end of string to print.

Problem solved?

Well, actually not. As far as I found, the solution works only with
generic text only printer installed in the system. When I try the
software with HP DeskJet it crashes.
It was much easier to implement such a printing in VB6.0, I used to
open "LPTx" for writing just like a normal file and it worked well.
