Hi to all you blackbiest addicts,
please help me with my little problem.

I cannot print from WriteNow any longer. It happened all the sudden that
after pressing the Print button in the print panel I got ( and still get )
an error message. After I click OK in the poped up panel the mouse pointer 
is spinning wildly and the text cursor shows the same strange behaviour.
Every other printing works just fine.So I took my backup copy of WN. And
the same strange things happen. Only running WN under root is possible, any
other account won't do.
To see more error messages I started WN from a shelland I get pages of the 
following : DPS client library error: cannot write to connection context ?????

Hey, what is going on here , does NS refuse to print for WN :-) ?
As I said any other app is working. Are there any hidden files etc.?
I scanned the default database and the whole disk, couldn't find anything!

I use WN 2.0 from the NS 2.1 under NS3.0.

Please answer soon, thanks in advance, Mirko.
