This library allows Clipper programmers to tailor thier software to the more
frequently used functions of 100 different printers. The function name is
DD_PRINT(), and accepts two parameters.

The appropriate syntax is:

DD_Print(x,y)

"x" must be a numeric value in the range of 1 - 100. It specifies which
printer's codes you wish to access.

"y" is a character string value, and indicates which printer attribute you
wish to receive.

The number used for the parameter "x" matches the brand and model printer, as
