| Thanks Tim. I didn't realize it would be so difficult.

Strictly, if all you want to do is print text and you
have mapped LPTx: to some printer (local or network)
then the venerable "PRINT <filename>" or "COPY <filename> LPTx:"
may well be what you want. You can issue these via
an os.system call from within Python, and if that serves
the purpose, well...

<code>

import os

f = open ("temp.txt", "w")
f.write ("""I must go down to the sea again,
To the lonely sea and the sky.
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by.
""")
f.close ()

os.system ("print temp.txt")

</code>
