Should be no need.  As long as the engine can handle the printing, all 
that remains is tweaking the revPrintField scripts.

I've had occasion to poke around in them before, and would be willing to 
explore a fix for them.

Are the details of what's not working included in the RQCC report, and 
what is that #?

This one will likely require an engine change to fix completely, but 
given the recipe for success I posted here a few days ago it may be 
possible to find a scripted solution to help in some cases, possibly 
with the IDE as well.

In that earlier post I had some questions for you:

     I just ran another test and found something VERY interesting:
     if you close MC's toolbar you can move windows independently
     across different desktops!  Success!

     So now one of us needs to try to pin down exactly what the
     difference is between the working and non-working states here:
     is it the order in which windows are opened?  Their mode?

     If you have time to make a standalone to experiment with this
     the results will likely be invaluable for fixing it.

     I generally keep all my Rev windows in one desktop, so this isn't
     a big issue for me, but if you have time to help diagnose this
     the success I found with MC's toolbar closed suggests we might
     be able to find a relatively simple fix for this.

Forgive me if you've already posted the answers, but I missed them if 
you did.

Have you had a chance to experiment with this to pin down exactly what 
causes this in some Rev setups but not others?
