Good point. My current project is to discard all the UI ( i.e. anything Carbon nib, all HIView and any Carbon events  ) and replace with Cocoa Nibs while retaining all the C functions that process the data. My reason for picking on PMSessionPrintDialog() is because it is the only call in that AppThings.c function that is “obsolete”. I’m was/am trying to avoid replacing that function too.
