A PD program that allows you to change the defaults on the currently selected printer. Since it modifies the resource fork it's totally fail-safe and survives printer changes, even copying of the printer drivers from one MAC to another. I don't know where I picked it up... good luck findind it. *************************** // Ben Cottrell \ ||c60a-bh@danube.berkeley.edu|| || benco@ocf.berkeley.edu || || tel.
