Digital BW, The Print

Oops, I just realised MeasureTool does appear to still work (I simply hadn't completed the device recognition phase).  Keen to understand the answer to my last question though.

(I am having all sorts of problems with CS5 not allowing me to access print settings once I have saved them for any one file but that's a different story.) I have the step wedge printed.
