From article <373@fig.bbn.com>, by rsalz@bbn.com (Rich Salz): > Submitted-by: Bob Mcqueer <amdahl!rtech!rtech!bobm@UUNET.UU.NET> > Posting-number: Volume 13, Issue 19 > Archive-name: vn.jan.88/part01 There is a misfeature in the handling of the PRINTER environment variable (unser Sun/BSD). vn assumes that PRINTER contains the name of a print command (such as /usr/ucb/lpr) However, lpr, enscript, and other print utilities assume that PRINTER is the *name* of a printer (ie. the PRINTER variable is equivalent to the -P option). This causes problems if you are not using the standard printer. The source fixes are fairly obvious. -- --------------- UUCP: ...!ukc!camcon!mb | Cambridge Consultants Ltd -- Mike Bell -- or: mb@camcon.uucp | Science Park, Milton Road --------------- Phone: +44 223 358855 | Cambridge CB4 4DW
