Almost 2 years ago you stated that Pop Peeper's printing capabilities were "not up to par." Today I see no improvement. Do you ever plan on having the print utility bring up the standard Windows print utility so that printers and printing options can be changed. I would think it would be an easy thing to do but since you haven't done it in 2 years maybe not.

I don't do a lot of printing to a printer. Most of my documents are printed to PDF for storing on a drive. My default printer is the utility that prints to PDF. When I do want to print an email form Pop Peeper I have to open my settings, find my printers and then change the default printer. When done I have to reverse the process. I've been using Pop Peeper for several years and have purchased a Pro bundle. I have stuck with Pop Peeper over the years despite several hiccups that caused me a lot of wasted time not to mention lost emails. However having to deal with changing printers is getting old. I have started looking for alternatives. I hope I don't have to switch but my patients with this issue is running out.

The basic "print" capability that POP Peeper currently provides prints plain text. If you need to print in HTML, then right-click on the page and Print using the menu.

That's one of the main reasons why Print hasn't been improved -- because there's a work-around that should work for most people, even if most people won't realize the "trick" unless being told (but whenever the deficiencies of Print come up, I try to mention it). So if that work-around doesn't work for you, let me know why. I couldn't find any posts from you regarding printing.

Also, I'm creating a survey which should be available soon and one of the specific questions asks how useful printing is, so it definitely is something that I think about.

I decided to take a quick look at this and there's a good chance that this will be improved for v5. Not only will you get the standard print dialog, but the output will be context-sensitive, meaning the output will look exactly like whatever you're reading (html, rich, plain) and not just forced as plain text. (All barring some unforeseen incident)
