In the LaserWriter 6.0.1 driver, the print dialog defaults to "Color/Grayscale"
instead of "Black&White".  I would like to change the default to "Black&White".
Is this possible?

The reason: TOPS Spool 3.0 mishandles certain Excel 2.2 documents if
"Color/Greyscale" is chosen; it prints them over and over again while spitting
out some obscure postscript error.  This is a known bug, and is even in
the release notes.  Sitka (producers of TOPS) had the following two
completely unhelpful suggestions:
	(1) downgrade to LaserWriter 5.2
	(2) tell the user not to forget to click on the "Black&White"
	    radio button.
How's that for standing behind your product?

I guess I could buy a spooler that works (is SuperLaserSpool any better?),
but I'd really prefer not to spend any money right now.


IN SUMMARY:  Is it possible to change default on a radio button?
