If it works for Marty it should work for you.  It is perhaps just a
question of finding out why your computer insists on using a printer
driver when outputting to the "Generic/Text only" printer.  This may,
however, be easier said than done. :-(

Instead of spending an unknown amount of time trying to fix something
that shouldn't be broken in the first place you could perhaps put the
time to better use by rewriting your programs using a file object to
write the text direct to a file.  This should be simple enough as all
the heavy lifting of getting the data for the file was done when you
wrote the XDML version.  Once you've created the file object all you
basically need to do is replace your ? "whatever" print statements with
oFile.puts("whatever")

Nothing is impossible if you don't have to do it yourself. :-)

Mervyn.
