On my system there is a logical ($PRINTER) defined which specifies the device
where the print spooler is aiming its output. If I open a file using the
file name '$PRINTER:' all output is directed to the spooler which queues the
print job when the file is closed. This was done from a C program with the
normal fopen() and other level 2 file calls without having to set any
fancy bits along the way.
