Printing to a Card Printer (SP55) using C#

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has a viable, working solution for encoding text and printing to the Magnetic Tracks on a card through this printer?

I can print normal text to it all day long. However, sending encoded text to the printer for the Magnetic Stripe on the card, - I havent been very successful. The DataCard SDK sucks - Its old and the only examples are in VB6.0 and C++. I would think that a company like the DataCard group would have created an SDK for .Net.

Any help would be much appreciated.
