Subject: Disable printing?

Is there any way to disable the printing of folder lists?
Someone at our site printed a list of all the newsgroups -
twice.  Now I'm sitting here with about, oh, 350 sheets of
paper sitting in my lap and find this to be a bit of a
waste of both paper and toner.

Also, printing to attached-to-ansi doesn't work at our site.
Everything is printed to the screen instead.  Has anyone
else had this problem?

Printing attached-to-ansi depends on the terminal program.
They all work differently. I used RIPTERM which also only prints to the 
screen. TELIX will print to a printer.
That is of course if you use a dial-up-link and DOS programs.

Well, I've run 3.89 remotely using Telemate and it printed, and used it in
the lab via an xterm with it printing correctly.  PINE 3.91, however, no
longer prints the same through the xterm and I haven't tested it with
telemate yet, but I've had a report of it not printing correctly over the
modem. 

I asked once before but the only response I got was "We didn't change the
printing code."  So I'm at a complete loss...

I am using TinyTERM by Century Software (Ver2.0.0) with excellent results 
on attached-to-ansi printing.   This product works with just about every 
printer and has very good terminal emulations.   I am using it with pine 
3.90 from my Internet provider which is running on a Sun.    I use it 
from work and home on my PCs to talk to my Internet provider and my 
AcerAltos SCO Unix system at work.
