Hi All,
This is a reply to my own post, FWIW. The problem seems not to have been in
email at all, but in Wordperfect8.
The solution seems to have been to use the postscript pass-through printer
within the Wordperfect setup stuff-- backing out the network changes suggested
by LG #43 made no difference.
As I got no replies to my earlier posting (below), I hope this may be of
assistance to someone else.
Cheers,
Doug
