I am sorry you were inconvenienced by EZ not printing for you.
The most common cause of this is a temporary network outage. Try to
print now, and see if it works. If not, the next most common cause of
this has to do with Netscape and EZ trying to both use the CLASSPATH
environment variable. EZ had it first, but was not widely enough known
for the Netscape people to use a different variable.
Do:
printenv CLASSPATH
If it exists, chances are it was set for Netscape and now EZ is confused.
The easiest work-around is to go to the xterm you plan to start EZ from,
and do:
unsetenv CLASSPATH
If you start Netscape, start it from some OTHER xterm.
Please let me know if this helps.
The Athena consultants can provide you with help working through this
CLASSPATH problem. You can reach them by running:
