MANY years back it was WP DOS, but since then I've worked through Win 95, XP and now 7, and many of the versions of WP from 4.2 to present X5.
Use of shell ended with the transition to Windows. If it is a document I print more than once in a blue moon, I may well automate the setup in WP with a WP macro - those are immensely capable, at least if I can find the right functions. Of course I set up my reports in DP to minimize any further formatting needs. Since I work with WP every day and since I don't print a lot of documents from DP, that has always been far easier for me than learning the ins and outs of printing with DP Spool or other direct printing means.
