   Understood. That does seem the natural way, and yes the GCC does show up as   
   a printer on his system   
      
   On further investigation though, apparently what my customer needs is the   
   ability to modify the drawing in Corel, i.e. add graphics and   
   cutting/scoring parameters -so it seems the problem is back to exporting the   
   drawing (preferably) as a vector graphic. Could it be sent to the clipboard   
   as a metafile(?) and pasted into Corel from there?
