I think and hope it's software.  I wonder, though, if it's because the 
Deskwriter uses a print spooler -- that this somehow complicates things.

What, specifically, did you have to do in PINE's SETUP menu?  I looked at 
it, but didn't find anything that looked like it needed adjusting.

We experience the same problem on our system.  Under PINE 3.87 printing
worked fine.  Under 3.90, lots of subscribers now claim that printing
doesn't work as it used to.  Something changed between the these versions.
