Re: Software button removed after documentation is sent to printer

I would like to know what people would do in this situation.
Situation:
Your documentation is ready, postscript file prepared, sent to the printer,
he's in the process of printing x number of copies. You find out that R&D
has neglected to inform you that a button (fairly significant button) has
been removed from the interface at the last minute.
Do you recall the documentation from the printer - that's NOT going to
happen.
Do you print a page saying that the button mentioned on page ?? is no longer
available and include the page with the document (the document is going to
be shrink wrapped).
Do you go on vacation and hope that it all goes away? (My personal choice).
