Is there some special magic there?  I do all my printing via
fineprint (see http://www.fineprint.com) which is a windows only
printer driver that creates booklets, etc.  It is not normally
accessible from DOS, so I have no printing capability from DOS
except to write to a file and later print that.  I don't
understand W$x printers :-[
