Print to line printer

Re: PyWin 2.7.3

2 questions:

#1
How do I print a .txt file to the line printer?

#2
I have 3 .txt files that I want to print to the line printer.

All 3 files will fit on one page. How do I concatenate these files to print on 1 page?

Load the files into microsoft word and click print?

Use the DOS print command?

untested program to concatenate files named on the command line, includes a one line file name separator.

Code:
#use:  A:> python thisfile.py a.txt b.txt 3.txt
import sys

for name in sys.argv[1:]:
    print('{} {}'.format('*'*20,name))
    with open(name) as inf:
        sys.stdout.write(inf.read())

In Linux you can use cat
cat chapter01 chapter02 chapter03 > book
and lpr prints
cat chapter01 chapter02 chapter03 > lpr (assumes you only have one printer)

If you prefer to use Python, this is a tutorial on reading and writing files.
