I tried using "???" and that helps a lot. With that I can get the job done.

But I do have one issue remaining. I would like the program to stop running if the printer hangs. If I turn off spooling to my test printer and send output with "???", I get the message:

Error Accessing Printer Spooler

I'm going to allow the operator to restart printing at a given point so it's not a big deal if the program fills up the windows spool buffer. I'll need to instruct them how to kill the spool file before restarting.
