I have, for some time now, been wondering why the hell JBuilder
( 8SE, 9PE, XF ) always printed to one particular ( and highly
inconvenient ) device irrespective of what I tried to make it do.
The sun finally came up on Mahble Head ( as an acquaintance from
Boston puts it ) this morning.
I use "cups" to do my printing on a Dell 640N/RH9.0 box
I have three printers configured ( named D..., L..., P... ).
As nearly as I can determine, JBuilder looks at your printcap
file and grabs the first entry.
I renamed the D... printer queue to ZD... and lo and behold
JBuilder now outputs to the L... device. Doesn't do it
properly but it does print.
<RANT>
Now, in my humble opinion, this sucks.
Its the first application I've ever come across that does
this and offers no alternative. And how hard could it be to
make printers selectable from within JB, M$ does it for crying
out loud.
</RANT>
