So I'm trying to get as low level as I can with my Dymo label printer, and this method described the PDF http://sites.dymo.com/Documents/LW450_Series_Technical_Reference.pdf seems to be it.

I'm unfamiliar with dealing with the USB interface and would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to send and receive these commands with Python.  Perhaps if you were feeling generous and wanted to write a bit of sample code, sending the "Get Printer Status" command and receiving the response (page 17 of the PDF) would be perfect to get me on my way.

Thanks,
Adam
