My Epson Stylus Color 640 waits until a buffer-overflow or a buffer-flush
command before to dump on paper, I must force a Form Feed to get anything.
Maybe your printer needs it too, try this:
formfeed: to-char tostring #{0C}
write/binary %//prn join read/binary %Test.txt formfeed
plese note: alone formfeed doesn't throw out paper. My printer just ignore
it, I need to print something before to send Form Feed.
