- I have a really dumb DOS program that will only print to a file
- with an extension .out. This means that I can't use LPT1.OS2 as
- a means of speeding up printing.
-
- Since this is a graphics program printing to LPT1 is very slow. Anyone
- got any clever schemes that would allow this program to bypass the
- OS/2 print driver and print directly to the spooler.

- (PS. print driver is for HP LaserJet)
