This is less of a gripe than a question. How do I print out a
post? "Print" doesn't seem to work.
Either do "setenv PRINTER printername" (where "printername" is the
name of the printer you want to print to) before running xrn, or run
"xrn -printCommand 'enscript -Pprintername'" instead of just "xrn", or
put "xrn*printCommand: enscript -Pprintername" in your .Xresources
file and then logout and log in again. If you do any of these things,
then the print button will start working again.
Actually, a better solution would probably be to put
"xrn*printCommand: enscript -p - | lpr" in your .Xresources file. If
you do that, then printing will automatically go to the default
printer for whatever workstation you are using (if you don't know what
the default printer is, typing "lpq" will tell you).
