Thanks for the info. I tried what you suggested and
found that the piodigest, and all the other pio* files
were not present in the specified directory. After
copying them over from the original server, I am still
unable to print. I suspect that when I installed AIX
4.3.3 on this test box (about 2 years ago), I
neglected one or more required filesets, but I'm not
sure how to determine which one(s) I need.
Suggestions? TIA.
