What were you trying to do?
A user was attempting to use "psgrind"
What's wrong:
If the workstation does not have an associated
printer in its Hesiod information, and the user
has not set the environment variable PRINTER,
then the user will get an error:
lpr: PostScript: PostScript: unknown printer
That's not the real problem, though. The problem
is that doing:
psgrind -Pprintername filename
causes the psgrind script to pass the -Pprintername
option to the /usr/lib/vfontedpr command, instead
of to psroff.
What should have happened:
The -P option should be passed to psroff, rather
than to vfontedpr.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
