[comp.protocols.appletalk] lwsrv & FullWrite Professional?

dan@osiris.sics.se (Dan Sahlin) (01/31/89)

When using the printer spooler "lwsrv" which comes with CAP 5.0, I
have failed to print documents from FullWrite Professional.
I have no problems printing from other applications and it all worked
fine with "lwsrv" from CAP 4.0. We are also running "psrev" from the
"Transcript" package on that printer.

This is how "lwsrv" is called:

	/usr/local/cap/lwsrv -n "Gutenberg" -p gutenberg \
		-a /usr/local/lib/laserpreps/adict \
		-f /usr/local/lib/laserpreps/lw+fonts \
		-T quote8bit

Maybe I haven't given "lwsrv" the right switches?

No, the problem is in FullWrite Professional. It puts out a

        %%BeginProcSet

comment, but doesn't supply an EndProcSet to match. Lwsrv then
obligingly swallows the whole job as a file somewhere.

The correct fix for this is to make a huge fuss and get the FullWrite
amateurs to fix it. I didn't do this as all I have is the demo.
