What if Windows users rarely printed things?
That hypothetical alternative world/dimension almost looks like part of
LiveCode's operating paradigm!
Windows print bugs don't seem to get much attention.
For example, LC cannot print a field that has vGrid turned on.

(Direct to PDF works, but not every client wants to go that route.)
Or take this one (it may be two) - tiny checkboxes printed:

Lots of printer bugs. They tend to stick around.
So I just want to point out, that in the real world:
Windows users frequently print things.
And in USA, Windows is very common for SMALL businesses. With printers.
That's a whole market segment that LC could grow in - if some of the
bugs are fixed.
(There's a way to bring in some of that extra money LC Ltd needs
post-COVID! Fix a few bugs, grow a more diverse user base.)
Thanks.
Best wishes,
