Open a terminal and type:

    nc -p27 -l |while read; do echo "send this to /dev/lp0: $REPLY"; done


Then open another terminal and type:

    echo "PRINT THIS" |nc -w1 localhost 27

...I leave the rest to your imagination. If you think that a gambas 
program can do this so easily, hat off to you!

Read the documentation about netcat - I bet you can not even imagine 
what it can do... :-)
