Re: envelope topography: failed printer selection

Joel,
I would think that each printer -- at least the ones I've seen in the
last couple of years -- would have default settings for their envelopes
that applications would have no choice about because the applications
are not involved with settings. But I hasten to say that I'm speaking
in the theoretical. When it comes to practice...
