Stupid question, but do you have a default printer defined?

Under some operating systems, it's entirely possible to have a cartload of
printers defined, but no default.  In that case, the print job may simply
be discarded.

I remember Hardcopy as playing differently than the rest of filePro's
printing.  It's been well over a decade (possibly two) since I messed
with it, but I have this vague memory telling me it was trying to go to a
default printer, unlike everything else, which was defined explicitly.
