Thanks, but I was actually meaning to ask : Why even HAVE that extra dialog box, or why not at least let the user disable it. As far as I can see, there is not really ANYTHING in that dialog box that is critical, or provides any additional functionality - that couldn't be accessible from an additional application button in the 'print' dialog box (kinda, again, like every other Mac app can do it). That's what I meant. Thanks for the explanation, though, Paul.
