What do you mean by can't print? Does pscomm Die...does ptroff die???
Does only part of the file print?? What is the specific problem?
anyway...
Transcript works fine here. If your problem is that only part of the file
is printed then, it may be caused by a lpr "feature". Default lpr setup
only allows files upto 1 megabyte (it truncates the rest of the file) to
be printed on remote printers. To fix that, place :mx#0: in the
transcript printer entry (in /etc/printcap) on the remote machines (look
at the printcap man page for details).
