Printer control from Fortran

My Compaq Fortran program (running under Win 98 and 2000) generates pages of
tabulated text in file "MyOutput.txt". This needs to be sent directly to
the user's default network printer, without user intervention once the
Fortran program has been launched. Therefore I need to be able to control
the paper orientation (which must be landscape), and also the font and font
size used, directly from some kind of initiallisation statements at the
start of "MyOutput.txt".

No one I've found here has much experience in this area. Suggestions on how
to do this would be welcomed

TIA John
