Generally, I've called PrOpen at the head of my print module and PrClose at
the end of the print module. There's no need to open and close the Print
Manager for every page, just at the beginning and end of a print job. It takes
only a bit of time and is probably safer than doing so at the beginning and
end of an entire application.
