[RBASE-L] - Printing a file locally

[KarenTellef]

Here's a strange one I haven't seen yet.  Client is on a
W2000 network, printing from Win98 workstation, RBWin 6.5++.

A program prints hundreds of individual statements -- this is
the problem I posted I think last year where it never made
it thru the entire job, found that Okidata lasers have a
problem running on HP Jet Direct network cards.  They moved
the running of this program to a workstation that has a
laserjet locally attached.  It is a slower printer, with
less memory, but it makes it thru the entire job.

But there's one problem.  As each statement prints, I am
gathering info and writing summary data to an output file.
After all the statements print, I do a simple output printer,
type &vfilename, output screen.  Nothing comes out, even if
she types this at the r> prompt.  If she prints to that
remote Okidata, it comes out fine!

To further narrow this down, I had her bring up any file in
Notepad.  She selected the local printer, but nothing prints
out.  Selects the network printer, it prints!  What would
cause this?  This obviously is not an RBase problem if even
Notepad will not print locally.
