Success! Detected the horizontal target from my own testImage, Vertical one did not succeed but will have to test on Tuesday with a new image / live tracking.
For the printf problem (I attempted to print to driver station but that had annoyances), evidently I am blind when it comes to seeing the netConsole option on the Imaging tool (kept thinking Console out is what people meant

).
After selecting that, everything printed beautifully and I will perform more operations on the image over the coming week.
Thanks for your help!

Must be that Friday success.
