One pitfall to watch out for is that if the PostScript driver (in
!Printers) is shared, the remote copies of it (here at least) revert to
colour being switched off, and this needs to be switched back on
whenever the local machine is re-started. It holds the setting over a
quit and reload of !Printers, but the setting cannot be saved
permanently, I have found.
