[DUG] Printing text line by line

[Rohit Gupta]

There is,  I dont remember what I had to but it was not pretty.

There were two parts to the solution.  One to set up the printer/driver 
suitably.  The other to use the right api calls to send a character at a 
time.  I eventually wrote a threaded compnent to do this for me.  If I 
get a breather tomorrow at work, I will have a look.
