Printing in Linux

[Richmond Mathewson]

  Is at best a mess:

Mucking around with RunRev 4

I managed a PRINT CARD from the IDE menu; although it allowed me to 
print to .PS (Postscript ???) only,
which is slightly pointless as I wanted to PRINT the thing (i.e. get 
something coming out of my printer).

However a PRINT CARD command from a button on a stack gave me a rotating 
'beachball' for 2 l-o-n-g
minutes resulting in nothing at all.

Thought I'd have a bash with RunRev 2.2.1 using exactly the same stack:

saved the stack as a "Legacy Stack " (funny, that, for me the semantics 
of 'legacy' make me think
of some money my Granny left me, rather than old formats of program 
files; gosh, must be getting old),

even worse: not a sausage.

Which would seem to suggest:

1. something "has been done" between 2.2.1 and 4.0 as so far as printing 
goes,

or

2. RunRev 2.2.1 doesn't like Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1.

Stiil; things "is" not satisfactory.

[at the risk of being accused of singing a duet with Peter Alcibiades; I 
should like
to point out that while I appreciate his coloratura and bravura singing 
I have never
managed to sustain more than 3 bars before I go off on a plangent 
tangent . . .   :)]
