Spouse, computer and printer are leaving for the Southland in a few hours, so her provisional solution is to save her documents as PDF using a nifty little Windows-only (natch, since the Mac OS can do this w/out add-ons) and then reboot into Mac mode and batch-print. Inelegant, but effective. I'll puzzle out the recalcitrant print issues when she returns at week's end (the spouse and her sibs are taking shifts of 4-5 days at a time at the irascible parent's hospital bedside. He is exceedingly resentful that his preference for no amputation was overridden, and arguments that had it not been he'd be in no position today to resent anything cut no mustard. But this is a topic for another forum). Thanks for assistance to date.

cordially,
