I have only used COM Interop to get access to pre .NET COM servers in C#. What is nice is that you can do this in VB.NET too, I am just not sure of the exact syntax about it. In C# it might look something like this.

[DllImport("myPrinter.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
private extern static long MyPrinterFunction(long hndlToPrinter);

I believe I have seen this done in VB.NET with the < AND > signs to replace the square brackets around DllImport. In VB.NET then maybe...

<DllImport("myPrinter.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)>
private extern static Long MyPrinterFunction(hndlToPrinter As Long)

Hope this helps. :) Nick Parker
