Packages  Description
Toss a file at a printer using the Windows API. This lets Windows decide which application should be used to perform the printing.

Also included is the ability to query and set the current default printer, and a whole set of command extensions to make programming easier

You can also ask Windows to open a file, and it will load the application registered via FileAssociation in view/edit mode (as appropriate).
