- Yep, just use MyPageSetup. A PD program that allows you to change the
- defaults on the currently selected printer. Since it modifies the
- resource fork it's totally fail-safe and survives printer changes, even
- copying of the printer drivers from one MAC to another. I don't know
- where I picked it up... good luck findind it.
