the list and is out of sequence.
It was held up by the moderator because it was a little over the maximum

Two other morsels of info about the problem of printing accented
characters from a card in Rev/Linux 2.6.1:
Rev's performance has only been tested using Ubuntu 6.06.1 and Mepis 6.0.1.

managed to clear up on-List. One of them was elegantly solved by Mark

printer or not?

I don't think so. The fonts he is using seem to have all the correct
characters. I'm not an expert in

Sorry to pollute the UR-List with tidbits of info - I'll stop now.
In Ubuntu, as I said, if you don't specify a password in the command
line for accessing a network drive, it still works. But note the
"Password:" at the beginning of the report:
-
In fact, it is not necessary to expose your password when accessing a
network drive in Linux. I cut this out of Mark's suggested command line.
On my network/machines, the following worked perfectly:
put "smbclient john\\c -Wmshome -cdir" into procToDo
put shell(procToDo) into field "test"

Well, for one, "mount" doesn't appear to be a valid command to
