title: Sending a Generic/Text directly on an Epson Matrix Printer through a USB using Java
body: <p>Is there a way of sending directly an "ESC" coded string to an Epson Matrix Printer connected on a USB using Java. I've tried this one using the LPT1 port successfully. However, majority of our clients are now using USB cables instead of the old parellel cables. The main problem I have is how to open the particulary USB where the printer is connected as an outputstream in Java. Thanks in advance for any tips and suggesions. </p>
