Unless I am misreading this, there is still some confusion about printer
grafPorts.  The port is ALWAYS opened by the printer driver,...

I think you may be misreading this.  Although the printer driver does open
the GrafPort, it is still possible for a CGrafPort to be initialized by the
printer driver.  The Tektronix 4692D (I hope that's the right model number)
does this.  The comment meant that I checked the version of the GrafPort and
confirmed that it was indeed a CGrafPort and not the old-style one.
