| Do I need to specify any flags with Put_  ?


Well you certainly need to call it -- printer.Put_ () --
and not just refer to it. But maybe that's just a cut-and-paste
problem. In theory (according to the docs) you could pass a
CREATE_ONLY flag (or something like that) but I don't think
it's strictly necessary. I'd imagine that it would create if
it didn't exist. Check out msdn for more details than you
want to know.
