Thom/Jakob--

I still haven't solved the problem. I bought Print Setup Repair & that did
improve the situation temporarily, but the system reverted again to its
previous incorrect settings. I'm now able to use the print command to
generate PDFs, but I still can't access either my desktop printer or any of
our network printers.

Does anyone know a good way to access & edit plists via the terminal? I'd
like to read them & see whether there's anything unusual going on with them.
(Just a semi-educated guess--for all I know, the problem may well reside
elsewhere.) I don't even know where exactly the print settings for a given
app reside. On the other hand, given that this is affecting all apps, it's
probably due to something global--ppds, perhaps?

To quote Tom Waits, I'm "open for suggestions."

Thanks.
