HP to Windows QUIZ printing

[Darren Reely]

Don,

This example uses both a string and a variable. This is on Solaris Unix, 
so I'm not sure how compatible it is with Windows. But it is an example.

   set report device printer "lpr -P$manifest_printer"


This comment in another source file shows another oddity I had to deal 
with. I can't remember why I did this exactly, but it displays the 
flexibility of the string content. My code actually creates the string 
dynamically depending on use and destination. The line will likely wrap 
on your e-mailer.

   ;; To get a unique file instead of quizs default
   ;; output file we create a line like:
   ;; set report device printer "cat >i1234567.txt;lpr -Pnullprint 
i1234567.txt"
   ;; in the input file.  This string cat be up to 60 characters.
