Hiyah. We still got 0.8, and are waiting for 0.9, but while we do... The way we set our default printer to our LaserWriter was by moving the lp|np in /etc/printcap to the lp2 entry. Is there a more elegant way, e.g., a way to change the default printcap entry to our LaserWriter? And the big question is, WriteNow doesn't print to our printer... [ OffendingCommand: setalpha ] or something. Is there a workaround here? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- # Daniel M.

(You'll notice that the offending command is "setalpha," which is an alpha-related PS operator added to Display PostScript by NeXT. Such PS extensions are useful only on the screen in conjunction with compositing and shouldn't have been generated by WriteNow when printing.) Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com
