I think diverting the information into a file then converting it to a DOS type text file
will allow it to be sent to the printer directly. (ending all lines with a LF and CR)
I use the `magic filter' program know as "apsfilter" to format my printable info for my HP
desk jet printer, then redirecting everything to lpr works fine. (lpd must be in use)
