Different default printers for each user:

Hi all,

I am >< close to being done with my filepro migration from sco to unix,
and I need one more tidbit of knowledge.

The stats:

Mandrake 10
FP 5.0.00

I have three printers set up in my printer maintenance screen:
billing
receivables
shipping

All three are epson fx-980's hooked up to a jetdirect.  I can print to
each one just fine.

I have three users:
Jenny
Martha
Vance

Each needs to have the correct printer ready to go for them when they
login to FP.

I looked in ~/.profile for each user and thought set
PFPRINTER=shipping/billing/receivables would do it, but when I log in as
one of the users, all three have the same printer.

I'm missing something pretty obvious, and am willing to receive the FP
cluebat.

Thanks.

Oh, users will be connecting to the FP server from windows 2000 clients
using Putty.
