I have a question.
The last time I asked the users of this list a question, you were amazingly
helpful. :)
I am a user of UNIX at Gestapo State University in Maryland. I am not the
manager (yet) but I have a question of managerial quality.

Our current manager has no idea how to configure our HP Laserjet III to print
graphic documents, either from our HP Scanjet IIC, or from our DECstations. I
specifically want to know how to print web pages, as they appear in Mosaic.

This has got to sound idiotic, because it is. The UNIX administrator above our
manager has deliberately configured the system such that we cannot print out
scanned images, or graphics in general. Great. Someone help me. Aaaaaaaagh.
I'm in prison. I find this to be preposterous. Supposedly, this config. is a
preventative action, to keep something bad from happening. What it really is,
is a waste of students money and a decent HP Laserjet, because we cannot even 
print out important academic research material, unless we want it in plain
text, or HTML code.
