NAME
PRD_PRTCOMMAND -- send a command to the printer
FUNCTION
This function sends a command to either the parallel or serial
device. The printer device maps this command to the control
code set of the current printer. The commands supported can
be found with the printer.device/Write command. All printers
may not support all functions.

command (italics for example).
