Hi Ted,
I don't have your files in front of me, so I have to guess at the cause
of your fmprint problem. Frame documents have a printer associated with
them which is set at the time you save the file. I am guessing that the
document you tried to print was saved with a printer option set to
electra, and therefore the document printed to electra. The only way to
override this feature with fmprint is to specify another document as a
print options document, and in this other document change the printer.
In other words, you need to have a document (or empty document) which
sets up the printer.
The syntax for specifying a print options document using fmprint is
fmprint -p <file with print settings> <filename>
There is (very) limited documentation on fmprint in the Frame Users
Guide on page A-9.
I hope this helps,
Dorothy Bowe
