Some time ago someone either wrote a program or mentioned how to
alter the defaults in the printing dialogs.

My need is this:
most of our time is spent printing black and white documents and
sometimes greyscale pictures.  Laserwrite 6.0 defaults to printing 
documents in color/grey mode.  This would be OK. except that Mac Write
occationally causes the print job to crash when in color mode. ( I
assume the LaserwriteII NT is running out of memory). So anyway what we
would like to do is change the default to B/W and allow the user to
select color/greyscale when doing special printing.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
