   For those who may have missed it, the question was how to print
using a printer connected to someone else's computer.  Printing to a
file, transporting the disk, then copying the file from the disk to
the printer was giving partial output.

   The solution, as given to me via email from an extremely helpful
person(TM), is to use the /b switch when using the DOS COPY program to
send the file to the printer.  Without this switch, the COPY program
ignores everything after an EOL character.  With it, my files printed
perfectly.
