O7: Print a linked file from Omnis

Hi all.
Last year I got help from the list on creating a function in a customer app
where they could link to files and URLS from within the application, and
then open them in the "native" program using Register DLL and Call DLL:
Register DLL ("shell32.dll";"ShellExecuteA";"JJCCCCJ")
Call DLL ("shell32.dll";"ShellExecuteA";0;"open";pURI;" ";" ";1)
This works great. Now they are requesting added functionality: They want to
click a print button in the Omnis 7 app and have the print operation start
without first opening the native program and then selecting print.
So the question is: Is there a system call that will do this? I assume there
is, since I can rightclick a document in Windows and say print.
Any hints from the ShellExecute gurus is most welcome.
Geir :)
