Good summary, Oran, thank you. Two further points: Some printer drivers can be set so that Windows *doesn't* see the printer's fonts. The driver for our Lexmark of a few years ago had a checkbox labelled "Do not report printer fonts to applications" (or similar wording), which I always kept checked. Unfortunately, our current printer does not offer the same choice. No big deal, since I use SetPrint anyway, but this info may help others. I also advocate the use of PureText for pasting content from other applications. After installation, Ctrl+v continues to work normally, but Windows+v pastes the clipboard contents with formatting removed.
