Subject: Printing from Pine 3.93

We've run into a situation in regards to printing mail messages.  They 
print fine, but they're going to the wrong printer.  We'd like for Pine 
to print to the line printer (when using "lp" from Unix), but it goes to 
our laser printer instead.  I'll tell you how our system is configured.

Users get to their accounts by using telnet from Windows and Macs.  When 
they press "Y" to print, Pine asks them if they want to print using 
"attached-to-ansi".  When they say Yes, Pine apparently sends a command 
over the telnet connection to tell the PC or the Mac to print, which 
sends the message to the laser printer.  We rather have the messages 
print to the line dot-matrix printer, which is what we thought Pine would do.
The only way around this is to export the message from Pine, then use 
"lp" to use the line printer.

Isn't there a way to change the printing location for Pine 3.93?  I went 
into Setup/Config and didn't see an option to change the location.  Does 
this have to be configured on the PCs and Macs?  Any information would 
be deeply appreciated.  Thanks for reading.

You want to look at Setup/Printer, not Setup/Config.

Greetings,
Ørjan.

I use 3.91 on this account, but the version in questions is the one my 
other account.  That version is 3.93, and I don't see a Printer option.
When I press 'S' from the main menu, all I see at the bottom are the 
following:

Help              Newpassword         Update
Cancel            Config              Signature

That's all I see.  Option 'Printer' does not appear.

Sorry, I meant to say version 3.94.
