I'd suggest looking at anzio-lite and anzio as they handle
pass-thru printing wonderfully well.   www.anzio.com   
Pretty darned cheap, though it has been upped to $40 from the $25
price it had for years.   And his tools perform other 'magic'
things for printing too.



My SCO clients prefered it to other and often more expensive
spreads.
