Printing with Media Viewer

[Stephen Wynn <swynn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've spent some time this morning trying to get Media Viewer to print to a 
local printer.  I've tried Explorer 5.5, 6.0, Netscape 6.0, 6.2.5 and 7.0, 
and Opera 6.2 and 7.2.  The only one in which printing worked was Explorer 
5.5.  In all the others, I have tried various options, but can't get Media 
Viewer to print to a local printer.  Instead, I get the message, "Printing 
not supported by this browser."

CSDirect tells me that I should "upgrade" to Netscape 4.5 or Explorer 4.01 
(or Explorer 5.0 when it becomes available), and I'm willing to try these 
versions if I could find them.  But I can't imagine instructing our patrons 
to do so.

I understand that printing is one of the thorniest problems for Java, but 
for e-reserves it's essential.  Has anyone else had success in getting 
Media Viewer to print to a local printer from a current browser?  Will the 
Phase 3 upgrade help?
