raw printing to gdi printer?

[Peter Alcibiades]

Josep, I have never used VBS so cannot help.  In the Unices, apparently you
can do stuff like 

cat somefile > lp0

or maybe

lp -d printername sometextfile.txt

after you get the printer set up as raw in CUPS.  If you don't have drivers
of course you will just get a raw text dump.  If all you want is ascii it
may be OK.  Well, that's what I am about to try, going out to shell and
doing something like this...
