- I was dropped into a site that had been running WP5.1 (AIX 3.1.?) for two
- months without being able to print. Sort of. All lines of a document would
- print on a single line at the top of the first page. Period. WP over the
- phone wasn't much help. However, it only took a couple of hours to fix,
- user-by-user, by selecting valid print devices and a little bit of
- empirical feedback. (They had no idea what any of the physical device
- names were.) In the end, all users could print to any printer through
- the queue.
-
- I'd be happy to send the specific details to anyone who's interested.
- Drop me a line at any of the addresses/numbers listed below.
