If I and many others wanted to print the manual, then I'm sure they would have just gone for the downloadable version. You even said that yourself further up this thread. "I'm sure it wil come with a maunual. If not we might as well have got the download. Love esther " I'm not going to kill my printer by printing off 500+ pages from a PDF file. Like BabaLouie, I like to sit and study the manual and mark things when not at the PC.
