Thanks, but I don't *want* to respect the settings in the print stack
dialog.  I want to always use the setting "Print full size cards",
regardless of what the user may have recently selected.  If someone
prints my whole stack using half-size cards from the "Print stack"
command, then won't your script print half-size cards -- or one per
page if that was what was last selected, or whatever the current
setting is?

Also, any comments on stealing card bitmaps from the windows?
