    What were you trying to do?

     I was trying to print from enscript. 

    What's wrong:

     It wasn't parsing the arguments correctly.

    What should have happened:

     It should have understood the -P option.

    Please describe any relevant documentation references:

     man enscript

enscript takes "spooler options"... the spooler option to select the
printer is -d on the RISC/6000... so use:

	enscript -d<printer> <file>

-R
