But that's me. If the objection is aesthetic, then it is indeed a matter of personal taste. Otherwise, would it not be possible for somebody to measure how much time this call takes on a reasonably slow machine? I do not use MS Windows, so I can not do it. It seems doubtful that it would take any appreciable time just to determine the default printer. Sincerely, Luc.
