Re: VoterComment
I see this type of thing all the time using an HP Laserjet 2100 Series PCL
in Alameda County. I reported it to Tab in August. He was sure at the time
it wasn't GEMS. I reloaded the HP driver without help. I have just lived
with it. The "voter comment" will change to something else the next time
you boot up. I finally went to printing off PDF reports to avoid it.
Since it is printing off something in the GEMS Database, I thought it was in
GEMS as well, but apparently it may not be. I've had no fix for 7 months
and I'm not sure what to do about it either.
