HP have a piece of free software called "HP Smart Web Printing" which is supposed to deal with just that sort of problem. The URL is horrible; go to <http://www.hp.com> and search on "smart web printing". I haven't yet tried it, because (according to the product specs) it only runs with IE (6 or 7), but it may be of some use to others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
