	Network printing: the printer does not awaken until the applications
task has exited to DOS.
	The most likely reason this happens (to lots of systems) is the
printer device handle (4) from DOS is still being held open until the app prog
exits. The server thinks more information is coming and waits. Command.com
usually owns this handle and gives us a copy of it. The usual away around it
is to open another handle to the device in the program and close it when real
printing is required.
