I am writing a program hopefully will be of general use.  I would like to 
cater to as many printers as possible.  However, there are thousands of
printers out there and I don't have time to learn each language.  So I 
thought that if I can just use the drivers provided by software like
Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, etc., I will be able to support quite a variety.
The question is how would I go about doing it?!  I am not trying to steal
the code, but let's say I am willing to package my program with another
commercial program with good printer support, how would I do it?

Thanks!
