Here's a method that I think will work (although I'm not 100% siure 
it will work properly on Windows, and I'm not near a Windows system 
at the moment to check):

   on mouseUp
     open printing with dialog -- displays the dialog, setting the 
result if user cancels
     if the result is not empty then exit mouseUp
     print this card
     close printing
   end mouseUp

(revShowPrintDialog only works if your actual print command is either 
revPrintField or revPrintText; it doesn't do anything with print 
card.)
