I know it's a round-about approach, but I have some of my Free Pascal
applications write a PostScript file, which I then convert to PDF using
Ghostscript, and then open that with Acrobat Reader and print.

Of course, someone who has a PostScript printer can skip the last two
steps and send the PostScript file directly to the printer--but this
bypasses the Windows printer drivers, which was not what you wanted.
