However, I would say NO to both. It is the job of the device driver to SIMPLY and DIRECTLY control the resource, not to try to "help" me when I may not want or need to be helped. How many of us have been bitten by line printer drivers that performed automatic "detabbing" because they "knew" that we would need it, when we tried to output raster files to a dot printer/plotter?
