Hello I've run into just hours of fun while trying to print out something
with EZ.

Here is the exact configuration of the stuff that I am using, 
EZ Version 7.0, ATK 5.1 on a DEC MIPS 5000/120 running under X11 R5.
I am using groff version 1.05.
I've put in my global.prf:
*.formatcommand: groff -pte -E /tmp/%s.n |
*.PrintCommand:  lpr -Pljea1 -Dpostscript 

The printer is an HP IIIsi.


Now then, if I try to print, all I get is a cover page.  If I sit there and
do lpq's I see the job shoot through the printer via stdin with a size of
about 6K.

I've gone outside of EZ and done a groff manually on the .n file and *Finally*
got the thing to print out, however it would be convient to print right
from EZ.  Any suggestions?

I don'tr know what is wrong off hand.  My best advice is to change the |
to >&/tmp/print.log  and see if any error messages
are shown.

Hope this helps,
