having problems with their printers? Every time I try to print now I get
errors with a cute little windows like popup asking me if I wish to
'Diagnose' the error: Print Error 'There was a problem processing
document blah, 'Diagnose' and then I get a Windows type
'Trouble-shooting Printing' "In the next few screens I will ask you some
questions about your problem with printing. Based on your answers I will
try to suggest a solution. Click 'Forward' to begin."

What the heck is this? I'm expecting the MS Office 'Clippy' to pop up
any minute... I'm starting to seriously consider the 'Jaunty is Junky' camp.
