If you wish to initiate printing of spooled print data for PC-NFS, the
following little MSC code fragment may prove useful. It works fine
under Windows:


#include <dos.h>
#define LP_PRINT_FILE           0x063
#define LP_STAT_OK              0
#define PRINTER_INTERRUPT       0x17


spool_print(n)
int n; /* set to 0: LPT1, 1: LPT2, 2: LPT3, -1: all */
{
        union REGS inregs, outregs;
        inregs.h.ah = LP_PRINT_FILE;
        inregs.x.bx = n;
        int86(PRINTER_INTERRUPT, &inregs, &outregs);
        if (outregs.h.ah != LP_STAT_OK) {
                /* failure - details unimportant here */
        }
}
