Ken: As I recall it, printing a list of plates was dropped in QXP 4.0. It was
supposedly restored in 4.1 or 4.11. Sounds like it might not have been
completely fixed.
We couldn't afford to wait around; instead, we bought MadeToPrint
(
http://www.callassoftware.com) which is scriptable in a "do script" sort of
way: You create a print job (kind of like a print style only better) and then
your script can tell Quark to run it. I use one job for CMY seps and another
for K; when I want all 4, the script just runs the two jobs back-to-back.
