I've seen a number of people complaining about the inability
of showcase to print via lpr and using the EPS and external lpr method.
Well, this simplest route I have seen (and use a variant of myself to
print to VAX printers) is to create a new network lp printer which does
nothing but invoke lpr. This seems to work very well. It can be a little
trickey to support all the lpr command line flags (this can be done with
a small simple FORMS program which is invoked as part of the process or
by limiting those options). It just seems cleaner from a user's point
of view to print to a special lp printer which automatically invokes lpr.
Just a thought...
