I looked at the wiki...
Printing from the View is no good. Currently a view of a dot-txt is Notepad and printing from Notepad alters the document by adding Header/footer and chopping the text in small chunk. That does not qualify as RAW printing.
Being able to define a default print program for each filetype in the Registry would be great! While we are at it I'd request that we have a Comet Print-Utility not unlike QSPOOL but more like the "Print All" that already exists.
Linking to the "SendTo" would be great. I have many RAW documents that I use Unix printing directly to the printer (using LPR.EXE). This is currently the only method I found to send a document using PCL Escape sequences (or other printer specific commands) directly to the printer unaltered under Windows XP/7. Works for PCL Esc, Postscripts documents and also for Zebra's ZPL-II label printers.
To work around some of QSPOOL limitations, I wrote a Visual Basic program that can process QSPOOL files and send them raw to the printers using LPR.EXE. If I could get my hands on the "Print All" portion of the code in DocMgr, I could recreate the magic without the need of LPR.EXE (it is limited to IP based printers only).
