Yes.

I can't easily share it, but I also don't know that I'm doing anything
special. (I'm definitely using session printing.)

You need the other CD - the Reference CD. There's an example project
at:

(CodeWarrior Examples):MacOS Examples:PowerPlant Examples:PP Book
Code:Chap 14 Solution Code

I cannot test it to see if it prints correctly when one selects
another printer from the Print Dialog, because I don't have a printer.
When I developed my own program, I tested it only with the Preview
button. So when you test the above project to see if it prints
correctly, I would appreciate if you get back to me and tell me what
you find out.

Solved the problem. What was wrong? Just call me a bonehead.

Moral of the day: never start a Printing Session on the same PrintSpec
more than once for a single print-job. The second session appeared to
over-ride whatever values were placed in the PrintSpec by the first.

Doh'!

Glad to hear.
