    Is it possible to prevent Sequoia from searching for and/or querying network printers when the print command has been selected in apps?

    Background: I have a giant, lumbering Lexmark network printer that has served us well. It enters sleep mode after 1-2 minutes of inactivity. Prior to upgrading to Sequoia (i.e., in Sonoma and before), when I selected the print command in applications like the native Mail app, the print dialog...

    How to un-revamp the new Calculator?

    When entering a series of calculations in the new Calculator, we're now treated with the below. Is there a way to get rid of this, and have it (again) work like every other 10-key calculator by automatically showing the running sum/total instead of having to hit "=" each time??
