- Please help me with the following problems. For reference, I am running
- Sun OS 4.1.x with Maker 3.1X.
-
- 1. I am having a problem with fmbatch (actually fmprint). When I try
- to print a file using fmbatch, I get the following message:
-
- lpr: ps: unknown printer
- fmprintdriver.ps: Using /usr/local/share/pkg/xframe/.fminit2.0.ps
-
- The printer the output should be directed to is called mulch. This is
- defined every place it can be. The only place ps shows up is in
- /usr/local/share/pkg/xframe/.fminit2.0.ps/xresources/Maker. I was on
- the phone with the folks at Frame for quite a while, and the only
- thing we haven't tried yet was rebooting my system.
-
-
- 2. Can the condition for conditional text be the value of a user
- defined variable? Specifically, I am using fmmerge. Certain
- recipients have an address that requires two lines, while others have
- an address that only needs one. What I want to do is basically this:
-
- $fname $lname
- $company
- $address1
- if $address2 != NULL
- $address2
- $city
-
- etc
