I know there are other ways, but they are not simple,

elegant ways (for the client), and that is too bad.

Point taken, however, servers are very _often_

overloaded, IME, as it is, without asking them to

handle something that should be as easy as printing

what is currently on the client's screen.

No of course I am cleared by my employer to make up

for technology changes, problem is more that there are

other projects I would much rather be working on than

fixing what worked fine before. BTW, I checked the MS

KB and nothing on this subjet, MACR technotes ditto.

I'd really like to hear from MACR at least, 'yes we

akknowledge and are working on....' before recomending

the use of Flash for anything someone might want to

print...
