Yes, that's right.

That's how printing is usually done, right. If your wide printout is all 
on one single card, then I'm not sure why it won't print. You should be 
able to print a wide card just using the "print card" command. It will 
tile onto multiple pages if it is too wide or long for the paper.

What OS are you using? OS X has a maximum image size it can handle, but 
I don't know if that applies to card printing.

You can print hidden stacks, that isn't a problem. You can open your 
buffer stack invisibly, do whatever setup you need, print it, and close 
it, and the user won't see anything happen.

But I don't think I understand what your original stack looks like. If 
it is all one very wide window, it should print correctly without any 
special work. Are you trying to print three different windows at once? 
If so, then yes, importing 3 snapshots to a buffer stack and then 
printing the buffer's card should work.
