if you are after the original data sent to the printer driver,
then i'd suggest forget the hardware port and write a filter
driver to back up the data. you may want to consider tapping
into printer spool and just archive only spooled data. if you
still need the binary data streamed through the port, then let
me ask: what do you plan to do with it?
