How do I debug this problem? Testing this shows me that print buffer does work in this configuration, provided of course that `lp' can print to its default printer. Our problem report was incorrect; printing actually works but the output is formatted incorrectly. The behavior is the same as if `pr -er | lp' was used; the letter `r' is taken as a tab character and expanded into spaces. I'll file a bug report. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
