card printing question???

[Dan Shafer]

While I'm certain what Jacque says is good advice, I found that using  
exactly your scripts, the code worked fine and the picture printed as  
expected.

However, only the portion of the image visible in the field prints.  
I've never found 'set the imageSource' to work very well. The images  
that get loaded are always mostly out of the field. I'm sure I'm  
missing something but since I never have to use it, it's no big deal  
for me.
