------------
Normally the remote host commands printing operations. The user
can engage line-by-line screen to printer operation by pressing Control-
PrintScrn (the key) and see the PRN symbol on the Connect mode status line.
This is not transparent printing, which must be commanded by the host.
This is all in the manual "Using MS-DOS Kermit."
