--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have used many combos of pywin32 and got many errors. this last erreor was
generated by: win32print.StartDocPrinter(pHandle, 1, "RAW")

That doesn't look like the full error, there should be a line number and the previous few commands associated with it.
Also, there's not enough code to execute, nor is indentation correct.
I added code tags
Please correct and re-post
Thanks
