The problem : we have n LaserWriter on our network and one color postscrit printer. Yesterday i sent a slide to the color printer (that was fine) and a few hours later a listing to the same color printer because in the middle i forgot to switch off from the color printer... At about $2 per color page, i am not very proud of my action.

Does any one knows something that would :

1) take attention of the user to the name of the printer in the standart print dialog (blinking and/or colored name of the printer i.e.)

2) manage a list of "special printers" and adds a level of warnig dialog when printing to theses "special printers"

3) do anything else to avoid such wastes.

Am I the only one doing such careless mistakes ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Eric.
