When we try to use the print function in Calendar Manager all we get on the printer is the postcript file. We can print by printing to a file and then using lpr -v to correctly print that file. The printer is an Apple Laserwriter+. Is there any ideas on how to print directly to the printer? Neil Leister VLSI Unit Switched Networks Research Branch Telecom Australia Research Laboratories P.O.

Fixing it is another question as the one I use here works fine to our apple laser writer. I'll see if I can find onything else. -- Jon Windle, Software Engineer. | Net: jon@research.canon.oz.au Canon Information Systems Research Australia | Phone: +1 61 2 805 2913 P.O.
