HELP!
      System is SCO-UNIX 3.2.5.07 W/FILEPRO.  system has 4 printers..2 HP 
Lasers (4500) 1 multipurpose FAX, COPIER, PRINTER.  and 1 Lexmark 2490 Dot Matrix 
Printer. all are network devices.
 
I was running mkdev rlp..I want to experiment with remote printing..Anyway,  
the customer called right after than and said she could not print from FilePRO 
 to any printer...
 
I called JP Radley and he determined that the UNIX printing was working  
file. We could print to any of the printers using [lp -d]. We could NOT print  
from dclerk or dreport..The only error we saw was when JP tried to hardcopy a  
screen. The error was "cannot open /usr/bin/lp"
 
I removed the rlp [using makdev rlp] and rebooted the system..no  change...
 
Clearly FilePRO is looking for something the mkdev rlp smashed..God knows  
what...
 
right know the customer is sending the output to a file and calls me to  
print it.
