CMD only directs SER: or PAR: output to a file. By the time it has gotten
this far, it has already passed throught the printer driver of your choice.
Unfortunately, not the printer driver of my choice :^)

BTW, for you Citoh ProWriter fans, I finally got some time to work on
that Prowriter driver of my dreams. Got a few things to work out, but if
I get to keep working on it, it may be available soon. (How about 6
graphics resolutions?)
