I ran into precisely the same problem when trying to output graphics
data to an Epson printer. What I ended up doing was writing to a file,
then using the system() call to invoke copy with the /b parameter:
result = system( "copy /b filename.ext prn >nul" );
While the /b should only be required for DOS 2.0 and earlier files,
it's required to bypass the ^Z. Yet another example of microcomputer
brain damage by the authors of DOS.
