The answer is too easy. Something must be wrong!  

When you do a Print-to_file the default file produced in OUTPUT.PRN.  

Go to MSDOS and type:  

print OUTPUT.PRN  

I tried it. It works!!

I looked into how we did it and we ftp'ed the *.prn to a unix box a printed the prns.

In the print OUTPUT.PRN answer, the default printer is the same printer configured in the Print-to-File.
