When you print, the options in the print dialog box are supposed to be as you left them, not reset to some default. When you select 'Faster' is should stay selected until YOU decide to change it. Call HP and tell them they've done it wrong. Stuart Cheshire (cheshire@cs.stanford.edu)

However, there should be a way that you COULD specify "I always want manual feed" or "I always want best quality" or "I always want a PostScript file" or ...; Apple's defaults are not the best for everyone. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

... loads of stuff about printing
What's the matter with you all? Go and try it. YES, Apple have updated the
printing guidelines. Imagewriter, Imagewriter LQ etc. all work the same --
print settings, like the choice of printer itself in the Chooser, are global,
preserved even across restart.
