That's the problem of IBM's famous PC-LAN built on the token-ring.

All you need to do is just add a line in your fft.c where you want
it to start printing. That's the <stdlib.h>'s

   	system("copy dummy.txt prn");

where dummy.txt is an empty file. You can try substitute dummy.txt with
NUL, then you don't need to create an actual file dummy.txt
This DOS shell call would start a new queue thus the fft.exe's queue has
to be forced to be printed.

Good luck!
