I'm making my first attempt to print using the Print Manager and am,
as usual, running into problems.  The relevant code I am using is
below, with indications of the parts that are giving problems.

I'd appreciate someone with experience using Print Manager either
sending a short example of successful use of Print Manager, or taking a
quick look at my code below and pointing out my errors.

Also, am I correct in my understanding that one no longer needs to
include support for choosing a printer directly in an application?
