Printing to LPT1 port

[ArielR]

Does exist in C# a way to open a port ( LPT, COM ) like C++ fopen method?. f = fOpen( "LPT1", "w") I tried with... TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("myFile.txt") but if I change myFile.txt with LPT1 I have this error, "filestream can't open win32 devices, like partitions or tape uniteds" why? thank you very much
