Directly accessing the ports doesn't work in Windows.
If you have a printer installed, you might try:
set printer to name ...
And then send information directly to the printer:
??? SomeText
This is what I usually do to print in text-mode, but I don't know if it works with printers connected to COM ports.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
