Apologies, much chastened.  I can offer nothing helpful, I'm afraid.

It occurs to me, though, that this may be an incidence of "better not at
all than badly" since I feel sure that there would be PD or sh/ware print
spoolers if Dos did not have Print.

I often send output to a file then print it later.  I, too am surprised
that this problem has not come up before.
