- Depends. I'll assume you are printing in Windows. Because everybody at some
- point becomes confused at how to print in Windows. The problem is that
- Windows makes printing a chore. Instead of just sending a stream of
- characters to the printer, Windows insists that you paint entire pages at a
- time.

- If you are using OWL, use the TPrinter and TPrintout classes. A good book
- on OWL printing is OWL Programming by Spencer and published by SAMS.
- If you are not using OWL, run for the hills. You need "Programming
- Windows" by Charles Petzold.
