..I would ask my travel agent for a print-out of my PNR which includes the fare calculation and taxes and "write" my ticket onto a "template" (photocopied from blank ticket stock) so that the travel agent can "review/check" my "ticket template" before I actually write onto "real" ticket stock (then they would validate it on with their carrier plates [a carrier like CX that pays commission of course!] on their "roller device" once they are satisfied that the ticket is written correctly).

No travel agent in his right mind would ever let you near their CRS much less write your own ticket! The "little roller device" is called a Ticket Validator. There is already a 'mistake' in your attempt mentioned above to write the ticket. If you can't figure out what it is, then you are not meant to issue your own ticket!
