LaserWriter 8.4.x: Page Range Numbering

Laserwriter 8.4, 8.4.1 and 8.4.2 do not allow me to enter 4-digit page numbers (above 999) in the page range fields of the Print dialog. Previous versions of the LaserWriter driver software (such as 8.3.4 or 8.3) allowed me to type in a 4-digit number. Is this a known issue?
This is a known issue with LaserWriter driver 8.4.x versions. A newer version of the driver, LaserWriter 8.5.1, allows 4-digit page numbers to be entered into the page range fields of the Print dialog. LaserWriter 8.5.1 ships with the LaserWriter 8500 printer, and is also available for download from Apple Software Update sites.
