I've used the current version, FinePrint 5, under Windows XP with 
Mathematica 4.2.1 and now with Mathematica 5.0.  I want to second the 
point in the posting below about the usefulness of previewing notebooks 
in this utility -- and to mention that one can use it actually to print 
pages 2-up, or to print back-to-back, booklet format, etc.   The utility 
takes care of figuring out which document page goes where.

(Of course this sort of utility -- at least the 2-up part -- is such a 
basic printing function that it ought to be built into the operating 
system, as it is with Macs.)
