at the start of the script, it doesn't seem to complain any more.
Hope that helps,
Thank you, though I'm not out of problems yet. The message I'm getting
now is:
Can't exec "lpr": No such file or directory at <same line>
Is that $ENV path maybe incorrect?
Try specifying the full path for lpr
%whereis lpr
lpr: /usr/bin/lpr.cups /usr/bin/lpr /usr/share/man/man1/lpr.1.gz
So on my box, /usr/bin/lpr
If you look at that article I sent you previously, it gives some
explanation for why you need to reset $ENV{"PATH"} (from memory).
HTH,
Dave
