PFP itself will print only one page at a time. If you want to print "from"
PFP and get more than one target on the same piece of paper, you'll have to
try to do this by combining page setup parameters with backing up the roll
and overprinting.

Or: you can open up the .tif versions of the targets, put them together in
Photoshop, and print them all at once. Look in the Targets subfolder, there
are .tif files for all of the internal targets in PFP. If you take this
approach, make sure that the images don't convert to a working space, or
have a profile assigned, when you open them in Photoshop (all of them are
untagged, and should remain that way after opening).

With OSX, it doesn't matter, because each version has it's own complete
subfolder in Applications. You can keep both around, if you like, no harm
done.

(With Windows, it's not as simple... not because of the registry - PFP doesn't
use it - but because of the spectro driver. PFP 1 and 2 for Windows have
different spectro drivers, the one that gets installed with "2" is newer, and
you only want to have one driver installed at a time)
