My code currently does something like this:
close stack set formatForPrinting to false open stack make changes close stack set formatForPrinting to true open stack print card
Does this seem reasonable? Is it really necessary to save, close, and reopen the stack to get this working?

Hi Frank,
The thing with formatForPrinting is that you shouldn't change the content of the stack after setting this property to true, or the formatting will be off. So the best option is to set the data,; next you set formatForPrinting false and then back to true ; next you save the stack, close and reopen it ; and then print it.
Except that I'm doing this with a stack which will need to run as a standalone and don't want to save the stack out to a separate file when printing (and parts of the layout may change rather significantly between printouts). I see this as quite a limitation. Any way for the formatting to be adjusted w/o saving and reloading the stack?
I do something similar to what I'm attempting with other types of printouts and don't seem to have a problem. Of course, most of those are not paragraph-level formatted...
As for your 'preparing' stack not showing up : is it possible you're running that part of the script inside a lock/unlock screen pair ?
No, and in fact, I even stuck a stray "unlock screen" between the two "open stack" commands to check for exactly that. No effect.
