EDSPrint (TPrintSet) is a way that was recommended to me by someone else here
(Peter Hyde I think) because Delphi's own TPrinter has limitations. Don't
expect too much from QuSoft either, as QR2 is not being updated AFAIK.
My recollection was that default printer problems were mentioned somewhere in
the QR2 documentation as a problem area. No fix is given though.
