03-19-2008, 9:07 rturney Joined on 03-19-2008 Posts 2 Once ePrint is selected, can't change to different printer I have just started using ePrint5 to allow creation of tiff or pdf files for emailing graphic images generated from a program I am developing.  The ePrint driver works great and is just what I needed, but it is persisting as the printer device even when a different printer is selected from the standard Windows printer dialogs.  I have to exit out of the program I am developing and restart it to allow selection of a different print device.  I am hoping that there is a fix for this or a workaround. Thanks, -Bob    Report

Thanks. LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report
