The following works well enough from Emacs and the command line (bash or MSDOG)
for basic printing text files to the default printer.  It even supports
piping (necessary for emacs).

----------------------- cut here -----------------------
@echo off
if "%1" == "" goto NOFILES
:LOOP
start /m \Windows\Notepad /p %1
shift
if NOT "%1" == "" goto LOOP
goto THEEND
:NOFILES
copy con \Cygnus\tmpprint
start /m \Windows\Notepad /p \Cygnus\tmpprint
:THEEND
----------------------- cut here -----------------------
