Well I was wrong about the comet, but I think perhaps, maybe the orignal poster
was looking for formatted printing, not simply a single-font print that
happened
to come out of a PS printer.

I think what Matt is looking for is a "pretty print" function - one that
preserves
all that nice text formatting done in the text windows of InfoExplorer.
