Automating the printer command testing

Hi all,
Im completely new to writing scripts.If my question
sounds silly.forgive me.Give me an idea on this.

I need to write a test script, which will automate the testing of
printer commands(specific to a POS printer). Is it possible to use tcl
to do this without GUI. If without GUI, how can I send command to the
printer(to serial/parallel/USB) port of the printer.Some commands will
have response from the printer.How can I read that response.

My aim is to automate the printer command testing through scripts,
will any other scripts will be more efficient.


Thanks and Regards
-Hari
