[open-cobol-list] ASSIGN TO PRINTER.

If a line sequential file is assigned to PRINTER how is the output actually 
assigned to lpr or lp or whatever the printer spooler on the system is 
called? One can always do a system call at the end of the program to send 
the document named PRINTER to the print spooler but it seems to me there 
should be a more direct and COBOLish way to do it. The very excellent 
"OpenCOBOL 1.1 Programmer's Guide" does not address this problem.
