This method opens a new connection to the destination specified by the Node and Port property.

Although no result is returned, success at subsequent statements can always be assumed, as failure will produce a trappable error (error like "Fail to connection at TCP level" etc.).

As part of this method the well-known printer object is retrieved, so after this call, the Printer property becomes valid.
