Windows Printers and F# Support

[dredgy]

Hi, I'm looking for a .NET thermal printer library as I port an app from PHP to F#. I would hope to be an active contributor to this library (probably mostly by writing an F# wrapper). I was previously using Mike42's ESCPos PHP library which is so excellent it's tempting to keep using it but I'd rather bring everything over to .NET.

My main priority is user friendliness, which is why I'm checking if Windows Printer support is added in this library? I've seen some feature requests for it. I'm writing my software for people who are mostly tech-illiterate, so being able to select an installed printer is really a necessity, with IP or serial printers being available for more advanced users.

I know ESC-POS-USB-NET supports USB printers in this way, and most of my test printers are USB and simply added in the control panel. However I can't find a good example of using this library to do so?

Also how is support for non-EPSON printers? The PHP script was superb at handling generic printers, and having my app being as printer-agnostic as possible is a big deal for me. Is using this library the best way to go about that or should I be writing my own?

I'm looking forward to experimenting, but don't currently have anything working in F# so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions and contributions to make!
