Yeah, that's the way the new Chooser works. For some reason, whoever wrote the CHooser decided not to preserve any kind of default. Apple net.posters out there? Any answers? :-) --Rich

I believe the rationale behind the Chooser no longer showing the printer chosen is that the Chooser is used for a variaty of operations now. Like choosing a Mail Server (via Intermail), or a File Server (a la Appleshare). As well as choosing a printer (Imagewriter, Laserwriter, Preview (the little neat shareware driver which is GREAT!!!!!), and others) So, I guess the powers that be in human interface decided that this would be more intuitive..... Not great for the power user, but intuitive. Oh well.... back to the salt mines .... and lovin' every second of it!!! /---------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Byron B.

Any answers? :-) The Chooser now addresses other resources than just printing resources. For example, AppleShare addressing is now a part of the Chooser. For this reason the name was changed (way back in the Mesozoic) from Choose Printer to Chooser. This is probably the reason for the change. Whether this is sufficient reason to not indicate the default print resource is a question I leave to others. -- -Brian Diehm (SDA - Standard Disclaimers Apply) Tektronix, Inc. briand@tekig4.TEK.COM or {decvax,cae780,uw-beaver}!tektronix!tekig4!briand
