This doesn't quite accomplish want I want; my specific aim is to write create
a program similar to print which allows setting of margins, page length,
fonts (probably for an LQ-850; Laserjet a future addition), and other such
goodies typically found on spoolers on minis and mainframes.

The addition of a print spooler at a future date may also be done.  Granted,
this will probably produce a good-sized TSR, but I'd rather burn memory than
tie up my computer just because I need a 100+ page printout...
