RE: Printing question?

Howdy again.

Naw. You are not nuts Beaufort. Well actually you may be, but not about the
*possibilities* in this issue, anyway.

It is ~completely~ possible to do exactly what you want. There are two
problems (pardon my language in advance please):

1) It would be complex as hell to write if you want it to work for a
majority audience, and would definitely require fluency in a scripting
language.
2) Would FREAK OUT and experienced surfer as soon as they realized you were
running a script that changed their own personal settings.

#2 is entirely my personal opinion.

HTH,
Fuzzy.
