Keith,
Thanks for posting the code. It's great of you to share what was a lot of
trial-and-error work, saving some of us substantial time. Sometimes reliability
trumps ease of use, especially with a large or unknown user base.

I've just stumbled on what think is a simple, 100% reliable workaround.
Here's the rule:
...
I think the minor inconvenience of confirming the printer, orientation and
margins -- if needed -- once per program run is more than an acceptable
workaround until REAL can fix assigning to .setupstring.
Does anyone see a problem or fatal flaw with this workaround in their apps?
