Rimantas wote:

Ok. Is it also natural to assume that if users sees "print this page",
he will think that there is no other way to print the page?

My point is - we can speculate either way, but we can hardly prove
anything without research/testing. At least I cannot.

Glenda quips:

Why not simply hire my husband (www.enablingabilities.com) to teach all
these users how to customize their browser to meet their own specific needs?
After all, he is looking for work. Both problems solved! <grin>

Cheers,
Glenda
