I've done this before on unix systems, but that is somewhat
different than doing it NT.
The principles shouldn't be too much different. The way I've done this in the past is by redirecting STDOUT to the lp system.
See 'pcap' @ www.teleport.com/~jkstill/util to see this.
Check www.perl.com. There's bound to be an example for printing on NT.
