I hit the same problem.  Until VMS 4.x, the only way to print a file
from a program was to call sys$sndsmb, but first you had to look up
the FID of the file via RMS system services such as OPEN...all in
all, very messy.  The best solution is to upgrade to VMS 4.x;
short of that, you've got to write at least two system service
calls, and they're messy ones at that.  There is an example of
how to do similar stuff on DSIN, however.
