Hey Sue,
My mom was filling out a form last year and needed to print a copy of
the info. Well, she was on my computer instead of the family, and the
printer is in another room. When you press the print icon on the Internet
Explorer toolbar you don't get the print dialogue asking for all the
settings. Instead it just prints. Well, she pressed it and when the dialogue
didn't appear she clicked it again. And then she though, oh I know, and
proceeded to double click it. Unbeknownst to her until she got to the
printer, she had 4 copies.
smile,
Jake
