Hal, what you just gave me is what I'm seeing - I spent all day yesterday
taking the pieces and putting them together - but never got anything to
print so I'm obviously missing something fairly basic.

Leaving the print queue for my default printer (Brother MFC on USB)
displayed, nothing I've managed to try ever puts anything in the print
queue - nothing ever prints - that's why I asked for "something that puts
all the basic elements of printing to the printer together in one place".
If you have one, a pointer to a very simple example would be more than
sufficient - I'm not dumb, just dense somethimes.
