| Can anyone point me in the right direction on this:
| 
| When running any rreport job to a printer or even hard copying the 
| screen, the following is appearing on screen:
| 
| lpr: unable to create temporary file
| 
| I am able to send jobs to printers from the command line but not from 
| within filepro.

Can you print from the command line as any user, or only as root?
Which OS?
What are the permissions of /tmp, and of PFTMP if it's defined?
