Sorry -- you can see what a poor proofreader I am, on the screen (a good reason to print!).

What I meant to say was, if *anyone* wants the instructions.  "Everyone" is a bit grand, for the matter.

I revise and print, endlessly, so for me a direct route to the printer is essential.  Even the 5-6 second delay involved with the use of HP LJ drivers in vDos is too much; I use Winprint most of the time, since it's instantaneous.

But if everyone want them, I can provide the instructions here, or attach the files, if the list can distribute attachments....

We considered it, but given that the extra work entailed is three
clicks (File, Print, OK), decided to leave it as an exercise for the
reader. ;)

But seriously, John, if you have this set up already, it'd be great
if you could post pithy instructions for doing so to the list.

I, for one, print less today than ever before. A pity, in a way (pace
the trees), because nothing beats the printed word on paper for a
good read (IMO). Not to mention that it's the only way to do serious
proof-reading.
