Unfortunately, I've found out little that can be easily passed on. I gave some thought to re-writing the printer.driver, but it's actually a pretty complex piece of code, and it's not clear that rewriting it for performance alone is worth it. There's some extra function I'd like to see in it as well, and perhaps when I've thought my way through all of that, I'll take a run at it. In any case, I'm about to leave the net for several months, so I guess I won't have anything of interest for some time to come. Michael
