I have a program that generates several reports.  These are presented in
a preview window before printing.  If the user clicks my 'Cancel' button
I call ptr->Abort() (Where ptr is an instanciated instance of 
TPrinter*).  I am getting a blank page kicked out in these cases.  I 
would like to prevent that blank page.

I intantiate the ptr in order to get the metrics for the printer.  I 
will also have called TextWidth() a number of times as well as having 
set the Canvas->Font->Name and Canvas->Font->Size properties by the
time the preview form is displayed.

I want to be able to prevent that blank page from printing when the
user presses 'Cancel' (and I call Abort() ).
