Is there such a thing as a virtual COM port receipt printer?

I'm debugging some code that writes directly to a COM port in order to print receipts on a receipt printer. The printer model is something like an Epsom TM-88.

Instead of printing reams of thermal paper while debugging this code, it would be nice if I could use some kind of virtual printer.

Like PDFCreator or FinePrint, but with a virtual COM port instead of a virtual windows printer.

Does anyone know of such a thing?

Edit: The code sends control characters to get bold text and other formatting. I'd like to see this in the output if possible.
