Howdy Bill,
If you are dealing with a WordPerfect "Print to disk" file, you need to use 
the
equivalant of the DOS "TYPE filename > PRN" command.  You also need to ensure 
the printer is initialized the way Word Perfect expects.  If the WP file you 
are working with does not match your printer, that will make a mess of 
hings.
You'll need to open the file for BINARY, GET chunks of it, and send them as 
binary to the printer port.  Don't forget your error traps so you don't 
overflow the printer's buffer.
