       Returns:       AX         Error code (see above)
 
    The submit packet must include a "level" value (one byte; for DOS 3.1
    through 3.3, the level value must be 0), followed by an ASCIIZ string
    containing the drive, path, and filename of the file to be printed.
    Wildcard characters are not supported.

                      DS:DX      Pointer to ASCIIZ string specifying file to
                                 be cancelled.
 
       Returns:       AX         Error code (see above)

       On entry:      AH         01h
                      AL         04h
 
       Returns:       DX         Error count
                      DS:SI      Pointer to print queue
 
    The error count reports the number of consecutive failures experienced
    by PRINT in outputting the most recent character.
 
    The print queue, pointed to by DS:SI, is a series of 64-byte entries
    specifying the files to be printed. The file currently being printed
    appears first. The end of the queue is indicated by an entry beginning
    with 00h.
 
    A call to Status freezes the files in the queue. Call End of Status
    (AL=5) to release the files for printing.
