I am looking for information as to how to write code in VB6, that will allow me to communicate with an Ethernet Print Server, via TCP/IP communications. In effect, I want to write my own driver and not go through the operating system.

I had a heated discussion a few days ago over the relative merits of Visial Basic and C++. I supported Visual Basic as being a worthile programming language to use in certain circumstance.
However, this isn't one of them. Real time communication with hardware in Visual Basic is not something it is good at, in fact it is terrible.
For a start there is no way in VB of directly addressing software ports and as for interrupt processing, forget it.
If you want to write a print driver you are going to have to learn C++.
