Mike,

He is selecting a printer during output which directs the output to the 
printer he wants.

All the dev stuff will use the default printer.  He must not have that 
set up the same as what he selects for normal output.  (John did suggest 
you could change the menu but changing his default is easier.)

Just set PFPRINTER=xxxx (where xxxx is the same printer he selects for 
normal output.

Or if local printing is required, PFPT=ON; PFPRTC=printtype as the default.
