I have never seen it in another position either. The reason I put that

locate in, is that I'm sure I saw it in someone else's solution, so

thought there must be occasions when it varies.

I got round the problem of various OS's printing various layouts to

various printers by designing a print/email app to do all the printing

for me. This is a workstation at my desk that just serves up the print

jobs and emails where necessary. This has lots of advanges:

- You set up the printers on this machine only, everyone picks from that

list.

- You can easily control all the printing from the screen next to you.

- If you need extra software E.g. I use Virtual PDF printer. You only

need 1 licence.

- If you are doing office automation etc. you only need 1 machine with

office installed. Machines without office installed or on an older

version can still produce output.

- If you change some of the code that does the printing, you can install

it without kicking everyone out. Just stop your printing app and

install the new version.

- Jobs that take a long time to print or spool can seem to print

instantly - the machine in the background does all the work.

- If the machine that prints dies, you just install the printers and PDF

driver on the new machine and you are up and running.

- You can have multiple versions of your EXE and run 1 for a test job,

then go back to the real EXE.

etc
