  11. To all of you who have tried to help me with my problem printing
  12. NB4 on a networked printer--I have now found a much simpler
  13. solution than sending a timeout message to the printer.  And I
  14. actually got the answer from our Network administrator, who has
  15. the handicap of being unable to speak any natural language (only
  16. various dialects of COMPUTER).  After you tell NB to print (and
  17. wait while it downloads our pretty new fonts and all), type
  18. CTL+ALT+Grey * (asterisk on the keypad).  You see nothing, but
  19. this apparently sends and end-of-file character to the printer, and
  20. VOILA!!  It prints!!  I have been using Printd for over a year, and
  21. had customized my keyboard etc. for that, but now I can use
  22. the regular print commands, (presumably including the multiple
  23. copy part, when that works).  Try it and see if it works on
  24. your network.
  25. Again, many thanks to all who tried to help.
