When's the best time to call PrOpen in an application? For now, I am doing it at startup time. I wonder what happens if the user uses Chooser to select a different printer driver. It seems to go okay, but I have my doubts. Alternatively, I could call PrOpen at the beginning, and PrClose at the end, of both my Page Setup and Print procedures. Will this work? Any suggestions on the "right" way to do this? Brian H. Powell UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!brian ARPA: brian@sally.UTEXAS.EDU _Work_ _Not Work_ Department of Computer Sciences P.O.

There's no need to open and close the Print Manager for every page, just at the beginning and end of a print job. It takes only a bit of time and is probably safer than doing so at the beginning and end of an entire application.
