Serial devices such as printers, bar-code scanners, and terminals work fine on Windows. Use Lantronix terminal servers and print servers to connect the devices. You can set up the printers as standard TCP/IP printers and use a generic text driver to print from UV.

We've had serial cards plugged in the back of servers and they worked fine (when they worked...). But if you have any sense, you do tend to stick a network card into a printer, or plug it into a dedicated printserver box (even there, I had nightmares getting serial printers to work - parallel was fine). You can get Windows to print to a serial port on a terminal server - been there done that got the t-shirt - but don't ask me how, it's too long ago (Prime LTS300s and a Shiva Atom).
