   General   
   -------   
   These are the final betas of a project sponsored by Mensys to provide   
   full-featured native printing support in the Mozilla apps.  They offer   
   better print quality and access to all printer features while using   
   less memory.  Mozilla's built-in PDF and Postscript features remain   
   available for use.     
      
   New / Changed   
   -------------   
   * Printing from mail and news windows now works as expected - you no   
     longer have to open Print Preview to print.     
      
   * The built-in Postscript support is now able to print in Landscape   
     mode;  it also uses the selected driver's DPI setting when needed.     
      
   * The outdated Readme.txt file has been replaced by an up-to-date and   
     detailed ReadMe.OS2 that applies to all 3 Mozilla apps.  It offers   
     instructions on how to use the new printing features and adds a   
     brief Troubleshooting guide.     
      
   * A bug which prevented some menu items from being highlighted when   
     using the keyboard has been fixed.     
      
   Notes   
   -----   
   * If you've been printing using the built-in Postscript generator but   
     would like to return to using your native PS driver, don't forget to   
     change "print.os2.postscript.use_builtin" from "true" to "false".    
     See ReadMe.OS2 for details.     
      
   * Postscript output from the native PS driver may not be suitable for   
     conversion to PDF.  Instead, have the app generate the PDF itself,   
     or use the built-in PS feature.  See ReadMe.OS2 for details.     
      
   Support   
   -------   
   Community support for these betas and all Mozilla apps is available   
   through the newsgroups 'mozilla.dev.ports.os2' or 'comp.os.os2.apps'.   
   Messages posted to other forums may not be seen by the developers.
