Can you give us the specific model number and manufacturer of the printer?? If it shows up in windows as a printer port, you may not have to do anything special if you just want to print from labview.

Hi,

It depends on what type of driver you are using, and how that driver communicates with you printer. 

There are lost of different ways LabVIEW can interface with external hardware, either using all libary function node, ActiveX, .NET, etc.  It all depends on what type of driver you are using.
