How do I look at the printer spool file without burning some trees?

When Hercules creates a printer device, it typically dumps the data written to the printer into a disk file on the host machine.? You could let the file "print" to that file, then open it up in your favorite Linux or Windows file trading program.

CP START 00E

(or whatever other printer you've got defined) from a suitably authorized VM user will start printing whatever is in the PRT queue.
