Anyone try this? Jerry Daniels says it solved his printing woes.
Description
Use the formatForPrinting property to improve printout appearance on Windows systems.
Value: The formatForPrinting of a stack is true or false.
By default, the formatForPrinting property of newly created stacks is set to false.
Comments:
Windows systems may use different font versions for printing and for screen display, and the spacing of the print version may differ from the spacing of the screen version. This can result in layouts and line breaks differing between the screen display and the printed result. For the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the stack is closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack to print it.

It seems you're not paranoid at all.
The decades' old rumors of Micro$oft using undocumented APIs in their own apps were confirmed in some of the anti-trust lawsuits won against them by more than two dozen governments worldwide in recent years.

Excerpt:
"Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest."
