I was having similar problems.  I don't have a printer here at home.  I
use DeScribe and print to a file, which I take to school and print there. 
I simply copy the file to the printer port (lpt1).  In order to avoid
having it crash on large file, I use the MODE command to change the number
of retries on lpt1 to infinite.  I forget the specific syntax (it's
something like MODE LPT1 /B), or even if it would work on an OS/2 machine. 
However, it might be worth looking into.
