I don't doubt your observation, but it does show incompetence on the 
part of the Finale programmers. There is *nothing* built into Windows 
that knows a damned thing about PostScript (unlike on the Mac, where 
it's fundamental to the OS). The only part of the OS that knows 
anything about PS at all is the printer driver. The only thing about 
printer drivers that has changed in Windows is the new driver model, 
introduced first in Windows ME and Win2K. That was *1999*, nearly 
EIGHT YEARS AGO, and they just made it marginally workable in Finale 
2K6, if I'm remembering correctly.

Something is wrong with their programmers, especially given that 
Sibelius has never had any problems at all in this regard, even 
considering the changes in Windows versions.
