Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users with printer sessions where "Show      *
  *                 dialog before every print" is enabled.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The user has the option "File->Printer  *
  *                      Setup -> Show this dialog before every  *
  *                      print" enabled but the printer setup    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The focus was not transferred to the "printer setup" dialog
  properly so sometimes the window remains in the background.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSPD.DLL has been changed to give focus to the "printer setup"
  dialog so it will come to the foreground.
  
  Fix available in PCOM 5.9.6.0 Refresh pack.
