Hi Ted / Peter

I have had no problems with print2pdf as was recommended on this very

list.

To avoid the sort of problems picking printers I just have a print to

PDF entry on the menus.

Hi Ted,

I checked out some PDF printer drivers a while ago, including Expert

PDF, PDF995, PDF redirect,Virtual PDF and Win2PDF and the only one that

seemed to work reliably for me was the virtualPDF. Been using that now

for over a year with no problems. Not sure if other people have had

other results with PDF995. Got my Virtual PDF from
