Yup. It shows up when you try to print anything, as just another print
device. Select it, and you get all sorts of menus and stuff.

Might do that, too. I don't know. My cad guy uses it, mostly, and I
don't know a lot of the gory details.

It does that. As I said, the gif's seem to be the best path for simple
line work from Autocad or Pads into a Word doc or just an image you
can email. For some reason jpegs come out huge, but that may just be a
setting or something; tiff's work fine but tiff's tend to crash Word.
