Many thanks for the responses I got regarding this question.  The technique is
in fact outlined in the text, so I am guilty of asking before I looked hard
enough.  Here's what the book says:

"
To send printer output to a file, follow these steps:
	1. Add the filename to the [ports] sections of your WIN.INI file.
	2. Quit and restart Windows.
	3. Run Control Panel.
	4. Select the Setup menu and choose the Connections command.
	   A dialog box appears.  The filename you added to WIN.INI is
	   displayed with the other ports in the Connections list box.
	5. In the Printer list box, select the printer on which you
	   eventually want to print the file.
	6. Choose the OK button.
You can list up to eight entries (including your normal port listings) in the
[ports] section.  Each time that you send printer output to the file, the 
information that was previously in the file is overwritten.
"

This is from my Windows 286 book.  Details may vary between versions.
