Thanks for this. I appreciate that skipping the 'Print Dialog' is not
standard. I've written my own 'Page Setup' dialog box for windows, which has
limited functionality but at least works. The client seems happy, which
means I'm happy as well.
As you suggest I'll send a report to the bugs email address.
