I vaguely recall that the original implementation of '(windows) printing
via the system driver' by Phil Underwood was slightly different to what
ended up in official survex releases. Is it possible that Erin had an
ancient version using that support, and then moved to a current
release and thus saw UI differences?

I could be wrong about that - this was all some time ago.
