Barrie,

I haven't done much with printing, but here is a hunch you can pursue if 
you haven't received better advice:

Once your page (window) is ready to print, get the rect of the window. 
Set your ROUTE _toPrinter, then invalidate the rect (FN 
invalrect(windowRect)). This will cause a redraw (during the next 
HANDLEEVENTS) that should end up on paper. If you need to force the 
redraw before then next HANDLEEVENTS, you can use WINDOW FILL after 
invalidating the rect.
