Hi y'all.  It's me again.

I believe the rationale behind the Chooser no longer showing the printer
chosen is that the Chooser is used for a variaty of operations now.

Like choosing a Mail Server (via Intermail), or a File Server (a la
Appleshare).  As well as choosing a printer (Imagewriter, Laserwriter,
Preview (the little neat shareware driver which is GREAT!!!!!), and others)

So, I guess the powers that be in human interface decided that this would
be more intuitive.....  Not great for the power user, but intuitive.

Oh well.... back to the salt mines .... and lovin' every second of it!!!
