For the default printer, simply use the provided stream stdprn, it is 
already open when the program starts.  Note that it is open in binary 
mode, so e.g. \n is NOT converted into \r\n by default.

For non-default printers, open "LPT1" and "LPT2" (without a colon!) and 
then use them as if they were files.
