- Hello I've run into just hours of fun while trying to print out something
- with EZ.
-
- Here is the exact configuration of the stuff that I am using,
- EZ Version 7.0, ATK 5.1 on a DEC MIPS 5000/120 running under X11 R5.
- I am using groff version 1.05.
- I've put in my global.prf:
- *.formatcommand: groff -pte -E /tmp/%s.n |
- *.PrintCommand: lpr -Pljea1 -Dpostscript
-
- The printer is an HP IIIsi.
-
-
- Now then, if I try to print, all I get is a cover page. If I sit there and
- do lpq's I see the job shoot through the printer via stdin with a size of
- about 6K.
-
- I've gone outside of EZ and done a groff manually on the .n file and *Finally*
- got the thing to print out, however it would be convient to print right
- from EZ. Any suggestions?
