Just for everyones information we have found the following problem and the
following fix for a Printer Maintenance defect.

Defect: For those on a Unix platform and have created two types of  network
printers (local) and remote printers (defined by an IP address) and the
remote printer is listed before a local printer, the remote printer takes
precedence in the Queque. This is only for PCL defined Queques. In other
words the print job prints through the remote printer queque and not through
the local printer queque as directed from filepro.

The fix: Place your remote printer queque definitions at the end of the list
in printer maintenance and everything will work fine.

We are on AIX Unix and filepro version 4.8.14D4.

The destination commands are defined as "lp -dname -s"

Hope this helps some of you.
