Im trying to communicate to a DYMO Printer I set my serial port
correctly however when I go into the device manager the DYMO isnt;
listed in the Serial COM Ports? If I go into the printer console I see
the DYMO printer listed as a USB001 Virtual Printer Port For USB. How
do i set this up in my code so that the executed code can talk and
print to the DYMO.
 
Try dropping a PrintDialog on your form, call it, and see what it returns as
the path to your printer.

Save this path to use in your code, then delete the PrintDialog control.
 
Hi,

This printer, almost certainly, is does not use a Virtual Serial port, but
(rather) a Virtual Parallel port. Thus, you would print to it like any
other printer.
