Re: Printing with Media Viewer

["Margaret Peloquin" <peloquin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Printing problems are one reason we decided early on to scan as PDF files 
and import into Guicat e-reserves.  While that may not solve your current 
problem, it will help with future ones.  If this is a possibility for you, 
I'd recommend it.
