Yep, this is a major, major problem that Intuit needs to resolve immediately.  They are charging a significant amount of money for the e-signature capability that is great in Lacerte because it has the ERO signature functionality, but ProSeries doesn't, and to not be able to have the ERO signature either printed, or e-signed, the whole process might as well be an incomplete product.

I'm honestly quite dismayed that an organization as large as Intuit can sell this service and yet have such a huge deficiency in it.  It should be a very, very easy developer fix to allow the ability to print the ERO signature on the 8879 prior to sending out for signature.
