While on the printer subject, It would be nice if they would fix the bug in interacting with the HP Laser driver from Schematic.
The problem has only appeared late in 99SE SP's and it is causing 2 extra pages to be printed for each print job. The final page is a postscript error from the printer, so it appears that some garbage is being attached to the end of the print file as the Schematics print OK, or perhaps the file is truncated and the job is not being finished correctly. Problem has never occurred with any other program.
