Rusty,
No. Until we get the TrueType fonts recognized by WordPerfect 7/Linux, we
don't use it all the time. This morning we sent two, one-page letters from
the other workstation and they landed in the server's lp0 spool. They didn't
come out until I sent a print job from WordPerfect on the server. That
pushed out the stuck ones.
In earlier printing tests (both from Red Hat's control panel printer setup
and fron WordPerfect), the indication is that the output was sent to the
printer. However, it's not until much later -- generally booting into DOS
for a while then back to linux -- that they eventually come out of the
printer.
As you can imagine, it's quite frustrating. Not supposed to happen, but it
does.
