Yes, just to expand upon what Barbara so helpfully pointed out: I regularly find that when I call up the print dialogue, instead of the radio button to print "All" pages being active, the one below it is active instead. This is the one that specifies a range of pages for printing, and it generally specifies pages 1-9999 -- which causes many printers to go a bit ga-ga. Clicking the radio button to print "All" pages instead resolved this particular problem and it doesn't normally reoccur unless I relaunch powermail for some reason. However, I've seen this in other apps as well so it is not a PM-specific issue, but more something connected to the OS's printer calls; although many apps never exhibit the problem at all, so it may be that PM and a few other apps are not hooking into the OS entirely correctly (not that I wish to cast doubt on CTM's code). Of course, this may not be what Robert was talking about at all, but it's the only regular printing problem that I've had from PM (and due to it's not-immediately- noticeable nature, it took me a while to spot the problem). Hope this helps; Rick ----------- G4/500 MHz (DP) :: OS X 10.2.6 :: 768 MB RAM PM 4.1.3 :: 3 pane mode <www.sharkattack.co.uk>
