   Reviewing 6.06 (Feb 3, 2009)

   Version 6.06 - January 29, 2009
   
   fixed installation errors in AddPrinterDriver and AddPrinter that happened on some systems
   
   fixed an AutoSave problem that sometimes caused large files to be saved incorrectly
   
   fixed a bug where selective printing (e.g. "print this page") sometimes printed the entire job when pdfFactory is the destination printer
   
   when sheets and pages mean the same thing (Bypass or 1-up, single-sided), redundant menu commands "print this sheet" and "print selected sheets" are no longer shown
   
   the FinePrint uninstaller now sets the Windows default printer back to the current destination printer, if FinePrint is the default printer at the time of uninstallation
   
   now properly handles the case where a user logoff or system shutdown is started while the FinePrint window is open
   
   the variable now works correctly in stationery when job separation is enabled
   
   the "FinePrint 2-up Letter" paper size now appears as a choice in application (e.g. Word) Page Setup dialogs
   
   Windows 7 is now supported
   
   text runs can now be longer than 255 characters
   
   (Server Edition) improved propagation of printer settings (e.g. paper size, "Do not show dialog") from the server to the clients

   6.05 x64 version is broken (as mentioned below). It crashes when printing from 32 bit applications. Stick with 6.04 for now.
   
   I took another look at Pri and couldnt find multiple letterhead support and the quality of the logo (in bmp form) was lower than that I could achieve on fineprint. I believe that for many people, the two pieces of software are really aimed at different target markets but have a few overlaps which may catch a few people in the middle.

   Doubledoom - PriPrinter supports both letterheads (print from any app to PriPrinter and then select Save As Form...) and per tray settings.

   6.05 (and pdffactory pro 3.40) did not work for me. They both failed when printing a web page from Firefox 3.0.5 (and Windows XP SP3). I went back to the previous version.

   New interface with version 6* was really an unnecessary change but you quickly get used to it.
   
   Took a look at the priprinter mentioned below but it doesnt offer a number of the fineprint features that i would need (letterheads, printing trays to name just two). So, on that basis I quick fineprint a 5 because it does everything I want and does it well.
