(OT a little) Filepro / Fineline Trapeze

Anyone got Fileline trapeze running on SCO Openserver (5.0.7) ?

I've got a small problem getting reports to convert to PDF with trapeze
and then Emailing them.
I am thinking that the problem is within my printer definition within
filepro (I could be way off).

Here's why I am thinking that ......


lp -d pdf /tmp/test                Works fine
dreport file -f report -u -a       Works fine ** IF " pdf " is the
defined printer on the report **
dreport file -f report -u -a       Does not work when the printer on the
report is blank for default printer


What I am trying to do, is not have to go into most all reports, and
change them to PDF.  I want the user
to be able to select the printer, and if it happens to be the PDF
printer, it emails the reports to them
Instead of using reams of paper (And I do mean reams .. We go thru about
10 cases of paper a week .. That
to me is plain nuts.

Thanks in advance "Gang" ..
