I route my output from a windows billing application through a text format. When I try to print this file through the USB port, I am unable to give a direct print. If I save to a file and print the same opening through notepad, the output is in graphic mode printing.
How to directly print a text file through a USB port in high speed draft format from a windows application?

sounds like it's trying to access the printers the old way - LPT:/prn
that means you either need a printer that will connect via LPT or you need to contact the application developers and file an RFE for the software to support windows native printing
