This is only one of the possibilities.  What INFO really wants is a
program which could read a file from its standard input and output it to
the printer.  So you can really get away with something like a port of
`cat' or anything else along these lines which you can put into a batch
file to say ``cat > prn'', then set the INFO_PRINT_COMMAND environment
variable to point to that batch file. 

If you use INFO from DJGPP v2.0 (and you should), then the file README.DJ 
there explains how to use this feature.
