    I'm not going to flat out say it can't be done, but it's going to be dang difficult. You need the driver DDK from microsoft, and if that has vb modules you are in luck. All the printer drivers I wrote were done in C/C++ but that was a few years back.

    Try installing the "generic / text only" printer that ships with windows. That may be sufficent for your needs.
