Java: Is there a way to print to a receipt printer via USB on Windows using ESC commands?

I have been stuck on this problem for a few months and I still can't get it working. How do I start communicating, sending commands, and printing to a receipt printer that is connected via USB?

Ok, I'll pile on the late-answer bandwagon. How about the jUSB project?

I know it may be late, but one solution I've tried on windows is to install the receipt printer using the Generic/Text Only Driver. Then share it. Then mapping it to a LPT port, using a net use command:

net use \\%computername%\[sharename] LPT1: /persistent:yes

You can look up more options for net use here:
