TEdit should check whether the printer it is sending a document to can meet the requirements of that document.  Specifically, the Hardcopy command should not try to send a doc. with bitmap objects in it to a printer that won''t print them (viz. Quake), and should look on DEFAULTPRINTINGHOST (or wherever) for an alternative printer.'
