An excellent tip, one for the FAQ file for sure.

The only thing about the error handler thus downloaded is that it wastes
a sheet of paper saying "Error handler loaded".  Otherwise it doesn't
appear much different from the standard Adobe ERRHAND.PS file.  So it
might make just as much sense to copy that to your printer instead, if
you want to save paper.  Patching the driver to eliminate the string is
another idea, for the stout hearted...
