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?

I spent all last weekend trying to get the Printer Driver stuff to work
with my 'D' version of Aztec 'C', no luck... sooo I finally got the tech
support people at Manx and it turns out that there is a bug in the "print.h"
header file.

After all the structure definitions, the clib functions are declared, starting
with

   void PrOpen();

ALL of these declarations MUST be preceded with "pascal"  ie

pascal void PrOpen();

I made the change, and everything works fine.
