Welcome.

However, I am VERY new to API programming, and was wondering if anyone could help me understand the printing concept (from PMCreateSession to PMSessionEndDocument) with a simple procedural example. Perhaps just to get a line or two (or even a bitmap) printed on paper.

If you mean FB_5_5_1_Examples/Dialogs and Windows/Page Setup and Print Sheets, that example contains obfuscated old FB4 code.

I made an FB5-only version
4toc.com/fb/PageSetupAndPrintSheets.zip
which should be less horrible to read. It is still formidably complicated.
