Printing tip -- open and close printing

I discovered something by accident when printing on my mac os x. The command
"open printing" is quit powerful. I can do the command, then do some stuff
like so:

 set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
  open printing with dialog
  print card "Form1" from 0,0 to 612,792
-- do stuff here
    print card "Form1303" from 0,0 to 612,792
--do other stuff here
  print card "Form 1304" from 0,0 to 612,792
-- then when you close printing it all spools and prints neatly.
  close printing


I especially like it because now I can send multi-page faxes very easily.
