Dear Tim,
I tend to agree with Alex (!) on Desktop Printing... It was a cheap
knock-off from OS/2 v2.1's feature; but it can cause all sorts of problems
with QuarkXPress and other high-end DTP apps. I recommend Trashing the 3
Desktop Printing Extensions and reverting to the rock-solid Print Monitor
(which is also installed).
