Yes, that's it. To avoid multiple dialogs, don't close printing until 
you are done with the whole job. You could put up some kind of progress 
dialog in Rev while you are spooling the print job if you want to see 
the progress. Or just don't lock the screen, so you see all the cards 
flash by.

Since you want to print each card on a separate piece of paper, you'll 
want to insert a page break in your print loop ("print break") after you 
print each card.
