| There is a guy running MenuEaze(sp?) 2.03. He runs a menu called GG. It all
| works and things which request print jobs work fine.  Howver, if he runs a
| filePro processing table, sets some env vars with PUTNV and then does a
| "system GG" everthing works right *but* printing. Just doesn't ever print
| anything. As much as I listened to his analysis, the MenuEaze program runs a
| dreport for example into a file... and then lp's the file... I believe it
| uses the -c option for lp.  When it is running out of filePro's SYSTEM
| command, it doesn't even run the lp command.
| 
| This must be something with the EUID when systeming out from filePro...??
| He is on 5.07 SCO so I didn't think this came into play as a problem...  but
| one of you may know what is going on and how to fix it.
| 
| The gentleman reads this list, too, so just reply here if you have any ideas
| about this.
| 
| (I am SO sorry for the lack of good info... I'm just hoping that on a prima
| facie level someone will have run into this problem and know an answer
| without me having to be more specific.

If it does not run the lp command, why would you expect a printer to
print anything?
