Jerry, what a great wizard you are!, I am so glad I asked that silly
question about the print utilities. If I hadn't ,I would not know of
all these possibilities, I would just print in the blue simple fashion
dictated be a non-configured printer utility. Look, how you have helped
out the Mac-User community. Many will probably now download the
Gimp-Print website and will be wondrously surprised. P.S. I have done
away with all those happy print utility aliases . It took a special
effort to throw yours(Jerry's) into the trash, since it had travelled
via e-mail such a long distance. Now I want you all to keep your
fingers crossed as I shall download the gimp-print etc.
