- Obviously in some cases and with some of the beta versions this will
- work. I did roughly the same with one beta version, after adding the
- appropriate settings to the NBCUSTOM.SET. A subsequent beta, set up
- exactly the same way, got terminally confused by this fiddling. With
- some versions (and some printers) it will work, with others it won't.
- Be warned that printer support in NB4 is much more complicated than
- with NB3. The plus side is that, as of the most recent beta version,
- printer setup and configuration is totally automatic and seems to work
- quite well.
-
- Considering the above, and reports that some configurations of NB4 are
- already being delivered, I still believe it is the better, more
- prudent course to simply wait until the final release version arrives.
