Workflow not starting ? am i missing any steps ?

Question

Hello,
I have just started learning workflows and i have few questions.
I want to do the following: if a document status changes to "complete", then i want to print it. I figured that this should be a workflow so this is what i did.
1-In the organizational plan builder i created an organizational unit.
2-Linked the organizational unit created in step 1 to object type T024l , this creates an office/laboratory
3-Created a task, assigned to it an organizational business object and a method and i assigned the office/laboratory created in step 2 to this task.
the task i created was a standard task, i took not of the 8 digit task id
Then i went to transaction code SPRO and under cross-application components -> control data - > define document types , i went into the details of a certain document type "KPR" and edited its status, that is, i added a status called completed, and in the workflow part, i added the 8 digit task id that was generated in step three. i save and exit.
Now i search for a docuemtn, CV04n, i change the status of a document to completed, i save and nothing happens. I am not sure why.
Possible thing i might not be doing correct <CAN SOMEONE CORRECT ME ABOUT THIS>
A- When creating the task, i did not create an organizational object, for testing purpose, i used an existing object type called: FORMABSENC with method create, the create method should create an imput screen so i though that when i change the status of a document, if i see an imput screen then everything should be working, but this did not work.
B- Should i add users to the office/laboratory ?
C- Do i have to use roles ?
D- Do i have to create a workflow, or creating a task and assigning it as i did in
step 3 above is sufficient ?
E- Does anyone know about a good tutorial on how to create object types in the
BOR ?
F- How can i know that when i change the document status, the task/workflow is triggered, even if it is not working, how can i know that a task is trying to take place ?
I know that this is a big list of questions, Any help would highly be apprecieted and point rewarded.
Regards

Hassan,
Sounds like you may not have the infastructure in place. A good place to check (at least to elminate this source of an issue) is SWU3. Check to make sure everything is running for you at the basis level. It's odd that nothing happens when you save, but if these pieces are not in place, it could be a source of the issue.
Remember that SWU3 creates cleint dependent settings, so you'll need to check each client for this config.
Good Luck.
