Printing to a Windows printer.

I am trying to improve a label printing program that I wrote in perl.
I want to use a Laser Printer instead of the current dot matrix and I
would like to include some Fonts and graphics in the output.
Portability isn't an issue right now and I really don't want to have
to install Ghostscript.
I have looked on the Activestate Website but couldn't find anything
that pointed to how to use a windows printer as anything but a char
device.
I have also gone to CPAN and found a modual that looks like it would
do EXACTLY what I would like to do.
http://search.cpan.org/~wasx/Win32-Printer-0.9.0/Printer.pm
But when I go to the home page that is supposed to have that module I
get a page of ads. It looks like it has been abandoned.
So any help would be great.
Thanks
