You don't "address the USB port". On Windows, you create a device
context for the printer, render your text to it, and use various API
routines to print the rendered bitmap. The FORPRINT sample I referenced
earlier does all that for you, and even has the option to bring up a
printer selection box, change from portrait to landscape, change fonts, etc.

It certainly isn't as easy as printing text on VMS, but then printing
graphics on VMS wasn't a piece of cake either.
