Maybe so, but I find all the focus changes needed to read the stuff online leads to gross amounts of typu's. So I prefer hard copy I can lay to one side of the keyboard to consult. And I just had an unusual occurrence. My Brother HGL-3170-CDW color laser is at the 175,000 mile mark in its life, and is both leaking some toner and jamming slightly more frequently. After clearing a rear end turn around jam (it does duplex) I had folded my arms and stood there to observe it for a bit and my arms laying on the front edge of the printer, and apparently pressed the cancel button. No way out except a powerdown reset, which it has had maybe 50 times in its life. That cleared the buffer, so I had to figure out where to restart evince again. Turned out to be page 33 IIRC. But the printer, while doing duplex all its life so far, has always spit out the finished page BEFORE it pulled in another sheet from the tray, which takes it about 15 seconds to do. But now, its pulling it while printing the back side of a sheet, so that when the finished page is ejected, the front side of the next page follows that page out, only about an inch and a half behind it, and is then pulled back in to get turned over somehow so it can do the other side. In round figures, that at least doubles the printers pages per minute. And before I finished typing this, it was done with that nominally 175 pages of pcb.pdf. Now to punch it and bind it in a 3 ringer. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
