One of the less well publicised new features in XPress 3.1 is the ability to show a printing status window on screen, showing the page, separation and image that is currently being output.
This is usually displayed by pressing the Shift key when you click on OK on the Print screen.
The only trouble is that it can be a real pain mousing to the OK button and holding down Shift instead of just hitting Return.
The PrintStatus XTension is a fix for that one, simple drawback. It adds an item to the Utilities menu, appropriately enough called PrintStatus. Selecting it will turn a check mark on or off. If the check mark is turned on the the status box will be displayed when printing.
To install PrintStatus, simply copy the file into your XPress folder.
