I've found that if you try hard enough, you can usually find something
that will cause problems for a particular model of printer. For
example, HP Laserjet 5L and 6L printers tend to have problems printing
Formflow documents, and certain cheap Lexmark models refuse to print
multiple copies, for some reason. I've also seen the printer driver
for some brand of printer (I don't recall what, probably a Canon)
choke on huge font sizes under Windows 98, but work fine with, I
think, Windows XP.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
