Hi

Spider3Print does the same with an HP B9180 using a Mac.

A workaround, like you found is to use Photoshop (or similar) to print the targets.

I have already posted this on the forum, but no one has yet offered a Spider3Print solution.

Having said that, a Universal Binary version of the app would be nice as well!
