According to the Windows (3.1) Resource Kit, "[DosPrint] specifies whether
Windows should use MS-DOS interrupts when printing ... if the value is No,
printing output is sent directly to the port that the printer is assigned to.
The default is No."

Great book, the WinResKit.  Well worth the few bux it costs.
