Thanks Bob, but actually no, it doesn't :-) Yes I've already found out
about the relative path to the PBM. And I found it somewhat confusing,
but perhaps that's just me. I think this is how it goes:

- If IOM and PBM are siblings in the same parent directory, the browser
path should be "../PBM.plugin"

- If the PBM is to be within the IOM's bundle (which seems appropriate to
me), say within a plugins directory, the browser path should be
"Contents/PlugIns/PBM.plugin"

- If the IOM is within in the PBM's bundle (which i originally thought
made sense then changed my mind), say within contents/plugins or
something, I believe the browser path should be just "../../.."!

I believe these situations are all allowed, someone please correct me if
I'm wrong.

I wasn't clear, but the error -1 I get is upon clicking the Add
pushbutton in the browser sheet while my PBM is showing, not Print
Center's Add button in toolbar. This is what I'm referring to when I ask
"What exactly happens after the Add button is pressed?"

So can anyone give me a rundown of the calls made to PBM, IOM & PM after
the browser sheet's Add button is pressed? Or anything in the print
system itself that would cause Print Center to report error -1?

Thanks,
Pierre
