Apple's new drivers for the StyleWriter 1200 give you the option of putting a 
printer icon on the desktop.  For the general case of printing any document on 
any printer, you can select the documents in the Finder and choose "print" 
from the file menu.  The Finder will launch the relevant applications and send 
them an Apple Event which tells them to print the documents.
