Just checking, but does anyone know how library / easy way to use the
printer in Windows as a simple line printer using std streams?  [i.e.
write to printer as if to std::cout]

I suspect the GDI model makes this unlikely, but it seems a simple
enough request that someone has likely wrapped it into a library over
the years.

Unfortunately, my Google mining skills are not good enough to wade
through the irrelevant links to see if some gold is hidden, so I'm
taking a short-cut and asking if anyone here knows the answer <g>
