I can print fine from WordPad and NotePad and the program editor I use. 
I just can't print anything using getPrinter(). I've issolated the 
problem by placing a message_box before and after the getPrinter() 
statement. I see the first messagebox message, followed by the Printer 
Err and then my second messagebox message. The Printer Dialog does not 
appear.
