My mail has been down and I am out of date. In reading the archived mail, I
ran into this message that I know all too well. I have had many customers
write in about this happening with my apps. They have all walks of
printers. Funny thing is that it only happens on Mac systems. Has never
been reported with Win users. I have seen it myself on both inkjet and
laser printers.
I have reported to Scott. We were went over it for a while. The only
solution was to set printcolors to false. But, you need it set to true.
MC 2.3.2 has not shown the problem yet. I am hoping that it does not
surface. But now that I know it has happened to someone else, I will post
if it does.
