 JH>         fprintf(stdprn, "%s\n", *in_data[0]);
 JH>         fprintf(stdprn, "%s\n\n\n\n", *in_data[1]);
 JH>         fprintf(stdprn, "\"%s\"", *in_data[2]);

 SA> fclose(stdprn);

 JH>     }

Woops!  If you continually open/close the printer, you could be spooling
seperate jobs - if there is a real device driver receiving your data (such
as the spooler), you could cause a page eject on each fclose!  Lots of
wasted paper.  Unless, of course, that's what he wants.  :-)
