I found (from this net, natch) a really neat TSR called prtsc1.  When you
do a prtsc, it gives you a choice of printing options, namely 

	Choose: Standard  Very-condensed  Expanded  NLQ  96cpi  Boldface

There are two more options, Remove-TSR (dangerous, since I have others on
top of it) and Escape from the operation.  This last is the one I use A LOT.

I'll post it to binaries as soon as I can.  Sorry, I don't have source.
