Is it possible to LPR print from my app?

[JAFrank]

I am in the planning stages of writing an application that will make a small modification to a Postscript file & then send it to a printer.

I can't find any information on LPR in any of the VB help or in the MS KB.

It's easy from the command line:

lpr -S <server> -P <port/printer> <filename>

I'd really rather avoid running them back through the Windows spooler - they are already print ready, so there is no point in adding the overhead.

Any ideas?

Microsoft has a class available called the PrintHelper (I thing, either that or RawPrint...) That can handle post script files I beleive. I should be available out on the knowledgebase.
