What about those of us that are writing our own printer drivers for
not-so-common printers?  Is there any chance that you could post some
suggestions for working around or solving the problem?  (i.e., can you
set the type to something besides PCC_MULTI_PASS and just make the printer-
dependent code go to more work to separate the colors itself?)
Or can you at least give us a few more details about this bug?

Thank you.
