Sorry, you got only the last chapter of an ongoing discussion. Print
works from both OS/2 and DOS command lines. From a DOS application it
works if I "prime the pump". That is:

Open the app
Print something - it won't actually print.
Close the app - now it prints.
Open app, print now works normally.

From any OS/2 GUI I have tried, print doesn't work at all. Well,
Enhanced Editor, ASCI mode, loads the paper and then stops. Formatted
mode beeps and closes the print box.
