Hi!

I hope someone can help me with this peculiar problem.  We have probably a few 
hundred users of NUPop here at UC Riverside.  One is able to use it without 
trouble, but when she tries to print, various of characters are left out of the 
output (it appears fine on the screen).

The interesting thing to me is that, when we print a message to a file, and 
then print that file from DOS, it looks fine (no missing characters).  There is 
no reliability to the characters that are dropped.. sometimes they are spaces, 
but they can just as likely be almost any character.

She is using NUPop 2.0.2 on a 386 clone with 10MB of memory, running DOS 6.2.  
The printer in question is an HP LaserJet II connected via LPT1 to the 
computer.

Please e-mail me directly, with any words of wisdom you might have and I'll 
summarize to the rest after awhile, should I get anything helpful.

Thanks so much!

Chuck :-)
