Re: mailing list problems, printing



Given that you're getting output at all, the issue would be with the printer
configuration on kingsnake; assuming kingsnake is also a Linux (or Unix) box,
check its printcap file, specifically the entries for `raw' or `text'.  It
sounds like maybe a wrong filter script is being used.
