menu-eaze 2.03 and filepro/SYSTEM

[Robert T. Repko (R Squared Consultants)]

Correct me if I'm wrong, the lp command IS listed in filePro printer 
configuration page (ie: lp -s -c -djetdirline) but filePro never runs 
the command.

If that's the case then I had a similar problem when I would try to 
pipe my output through less.  filePro just simply would not pipe the 
output through less (|cat > /tmp/view$$; less -S /tmp/view$$;rm 
/tmp/view$$).  I posted a question to the list but never received an 
answer to the problem.  To resolve the problem I had to change the 
version of dreport I was running.  Once I upgraded to a newer version 
I could pipe my output through less.  You may have a similar problem 
with the version of dreport you are running.
