Describe the enhancement

Hej! =)
It would be very useful if we would have a usb.write like we have uart.write.
This would makes great value for usb devices with simple communication like a ESC POS printer.
There I could simply send the commands with usb.write instead of uart.write.

I would like to specify the endpoint and the data sent.

Use cases

As said I currently work on a project where a usb ESC/POS printer is involved.
Currently there is a very basic implementation (by inheriting the current usb_host classes).
As I am nowhere good in C++ it would greatly simplify my implementation!

I think there are more usecases, tho I admit its very specific to my case.

Anything else?

Unless the usb device implements a serial device class, you can't just "write" to it. Whatever component is implementing the printer handling (if it isn't usb_uart) needs to provide the write support.
