Fairly simple: one card, 8x10 (to fit easily on 8-1/2 x 11), user doesn't
need to see it on screen.  I a simple "print this card" on Mac running Rev 3
and it seemed to work fine.  Tried it on another machine running Rev 3.5,
and I get split second of progress bar, and then nothing: no printing
starts, Printer app doesn't open, the result is empty.

Does a stack need to be visible to print?  If not, I guess I need to open it
off screen? 

I'm also not clear on the Page Setup behavior.  Is the idea to store the
result as printerSettings and apply the saved data in the future so the user
doesn't need to set up the printer again?

Jacque, you're always willing to step in and provide help, it's just
amazing.  Thank you so much.
