Intersting - there was another thread I just read, good one, on the HP printer issue fully explaining it. And yes, it is more complex so your answer would take care of my problem much better.
For good reading on the HP print driver issue, read: 181134 THREAD - view entire thread for 182514.

Thanks for the help.
