Please, Apple charges $29 for Snow Leopard and you charge almost that much to "supposedly" fix some printer issue? An issue I've never seen personally but regardless, your price is out of whack. You even cost more than tools like GraphicConverter that some of us use every day! Sorry!

Print Therapy ReviewNo nothing support - Version: 6.0.2 LE, 10/19/2008 02:47PM PST

I bought Print Therapy because of my good experiences with PSR5. So I'd run PT6.0.2 on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.5. It repaired tons of files, ok. But after that procedure, I had some serious problems creating printers and printing witn some drivers. PT6 didn't solve the problems.

So I contacted the developper, discribed the problems and asked for a hint/suggestions.
No response.

A week later a reminder for my first message.
No response.

I am a experienced user, and I got the problem solved. Without PT6. As I'm not a programmer, I cannot say if PT6 is good or bad at this point. But my main complaint is:
NO SUPPORT.

Take a look at Ed Hamricks VueScan - and learn, how quick a professional shareware support can be. Yours isn't ...

I hesitated about upgrading to Leopard until Print Therapy (was called Printer Setup Repair in Tiger and Panther) was released but, with trepidation, did it anyway. I am so happy that the Leopard version is now available. I count this as a must-have utility in the same way that I count on Disk Warrior. Bravo to the Fixamac team!
