Reading this got me wondering - is the file spooled to the printer "saved" in any fashion? I understand and completely agree that the originally opened file on the hard disk would be unaffected. But there is a "copy" made in RAM when a file is printed (or copied or otherwise internally manipulated). It seems to me that this spooled copy MAY be of different quality than either the original HD file OR the virtual copy internal to PS (or other image processing software).
Not sure if this makes sense or not, but I was just curious.
