Connect with PVC Plastic Cards Printer using C#

Someone knows the better way to connect with this kind of printers? Using SQL SERVER or XML? Any ideas?

Actually my company uses databases created in Microsoft Access and VB.NET to create a connection to the printer, but this process will be discontinued.

I´ll appreciate any tips or ideas. 

I´ve serched for examples using SQL Server, XML or any other way to create a connection between C# and a PVC card printer.

 

Thank you.
