I'm not sure about this DLL Imports...
I will defer the final decision to @lukevp , but if he is ok with these import, then the PR sounds great.

Hey all, sorry I missed this. How does this work outside of Windows? This seems like old school COM stuff that's windows / full framework only (not .NET core / .NET standard)

@lukevp I don't think those imports will work outside windows. From experience with Mono back in the day one would need to have corresponding .so files and etc. Nothing straight forward.

But, it could be a Windows-only feature, since it seems that only Windows has this issue with USB. Thoughts?

Hi all,
I developed this feature as a windows only feature, because there wasn't any way of printing to USB printer on Windows without using virtual serial port drivers.
@lukevp As far as I understand Devicefinder.cs doesn't have any other dependency outside .netStandard but yes it only works on windows (finding devices connected).
Implemented native USB Printing support for Windows (should work for linux as well) with complete printer status report back.
No driver install or Virtual Serial Port needed.
Choose printer from list of USB devices and send data straight to the printer like Serial or Network printer.
.Net Standard.
Tested: Epson TM-T82III, Element RW80, Sunmi NT3111, Bixolon E300
