Hello,
There seems to be a problem with printing from Framemaker when it is used
to view mime attachments by setting the MU_MSWORD environment variable to
frame for MS Word documents.
Framemaker opens and asks for the document import type- when this is
specified, it opens the document correctly- but when you select Print
it proposes "printer" as the default printer name, which I think is
what it does when $PRINTER is undefined. Printing to this non-existent
printer then generates a message like this in the background:
fmprintdr.ps: Using /mit/frame_v5.5.6/distrib/sun4x_56/fminit
FMlpr: Calling FMlpr.printer to process print file /tmp/mhshow07d8ES.ps.AA1ca5
/mit/frame_v5.5.6/distrib/sun4x_56/fminit/FMlpr: FMlpr.printer: not found
I ran into this while I was configuring Framemaker- what I suspect
might be happening is that the mime inovation of Framemaker is somehow
bypassing our launch script in /mit/frame_v5.5.6/arch/share/bin/maker
that has a section setting up $PRINTER. I verified that printing is OK
when I launch FrameMaker independently.
