I'm running Windows and I have a crummy printer, but I have access to
another PC running DOS that has a laser printer.  If I do a "print to file"
from my word processor under Windows, with the correct printer setup, and
then take that file to the DOS machine, how do I print the file?  My DOS
manual says that the DOS "print" command is only for text files.

Thanks for any help.
