You could probably do this with a monitor, like the way the OS/2
EWS program TXT2PS does and the tcp/ip program lprmon does.  I haven't
played with monitors (which only have a 16 bit interface in 2.0)
so I don't know the difficulty level.

A well known personality (:-)) on the OS/2 newsgroups is working on
such a program.  Give him a little time.
