HP to Windows QUIZ printing

[Don Baird @ Encore]

Using the Print command does work fine, and we will resort to it.  Thanks
for the tip.

Fortunately (our view) we only have a few reports that use escape sequences,
so we are exploring other methods.  We create batch jobs on the fly
combining user input with a permanent template, and routing output direct to
a printer would be "cleaner" for us in a lot of cases. This assumes of
course that one of the "other methods" will actually meet our needs.

Soooo, given that the Print command works we are now having a debate on how
to manage the disc files that we would produce from Quiz.  Need to avoid
collisions between users. Going to use this in a few cases, and we might
need to use it in all cases. We'll see.

This has also opened up an old enhancement request regarding archiving
reports and such - which we do not do now. Print to disc and then keep the
file so you can re-print it, view it, fax it, whatever, at a later date.  Of
course, you need to be able to find the file later (minor detail). Not going
to do this now, we have our hands full just migrating everything. Maybe some
day when we are not so busy (yeah right).

I'll let you know how this turns out.  Thanks.
