OK, done some experimenting, and the further I go, the less I understand (slight dent appearing in middle of forehead!). First, curses, I hadn't, it seems, kept a copy of the original !Printers; I'm usually obsessional about doing this sort of thing, but I must have slipped up here. However, I do have the disc image CD which came with this Iyo, so I copied !Printers from this, and re-booted. It says it's 1.72 (is this correct? I thought 1.72 was an upgrade.) and it prints Roger's file quite correctly to PrintPDF. I'm now thoroughly confused about version numbers, and I have no idea if this is a pointer to a solution to Roger D's problem. Explanations at a reading age of about ten, please! :-) With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Er \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
