What were you trying to do?
Print from Frame to a file.
What's wrong:
it gave me the following message:
athena%fmprintdr.ps: Using /mit/frame_v4.0/distrib/sun4m_53/fminit
fmprintdr.ps: Internal error 9 in version 4. Please contact Technical Support and describe the actions leading up to this error.
What should have happened:
print correctly
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I already had problems earlier (on this machine) with Frame. When
Frame freezed up my window again (This been happening fairly often recently.
I think it's mostly on Suns and more likely when I am using the Graphic Tools),
I logged out and logged back in again to start Frame again. However, when
I tried to open the file that I was working. It said something like it cannot
open the file because it (may) be corrupted. I sent a report to olc which
I later marked 'done'. I marked 'done' because I logged on to another machine,
opened Frame, made sure that the document is there, and tried again on this
computer (without doing anyhing else). It worked but I don't understand it.
Since it's no longer a problem, I marked it done but still wonder if anyone
might know anything about it. Anyway, I've been working on Frame and it hasn't
given me any more troubles - that is until I tried to print to a file.
Printing to the printer works because I sent it to python and it came out
okay. I can't explain why printing to the file doens't work. I'll try it
from another computer (that seems to be the magical move lately)......
Okay, I know what's wrong now and I feel silly - the error comes from the
empty printer field. I'll send this report to you guys anyway for future
reference - also because it says to contact Technical Support (I assume for
FrameMaker) and I think you guys will have a better idea how to contact them.
