One of each and both stay in the dock.

No

No it was a new install to a clean drive.  The printers were added  
later.  I first noticed this on my hackintosh which runs 10.5.0.  It  
only has a network printer but it also stays in the dock until I  
manually close it once it's called to print.  Just for S & G I down  
graded the DA to Tiger using A&I.  The printers icons now disappear  
from the dock once the print job is complete.  I wasn't really happy  
with Leopard on this system anyway and the DA originally had 10.4 on  
it when I got it.  It now performs better and the icons act like they  
should.

Just a message from Doug...
