Why would a high-level language not be an ideal tool for writing a program that directly accesses a printer port?

Because in order for high-level programming to work the manufacturer has to make documentation and the resources available for different types of peripherals. And seeing that device drivers as far as what I've been told in Windows has been traditionally been written in assembly, it makes interfaces for high-level languages close to impossible unless if you can obtain support for it via the operating system (Windows spooling service or CUPS in *nix and OS X)
