I have been trying unsuccessfully to use the printing manager routines
described in "Inside Macintosh" to write a simple C subroutine to print
a text file.  I have tried several approaches ranging from using the
highest level printing interface, using the printer driver routines to
stream text to the printer, using the base level device driver routines
to talk to the printer port, etc.  Anyway, nothing seems to work...not so
much as a character makes it to the printer.  

Help!....  What is the secret?
