Re: Printing page range

[Dale Schultz dale@xxxxxxxx]

as far as I recall
TY ,15-
is valid

when you print from screen it makes a TMP copy of the file and does a
type print.tmp,15-
in the background. (In case you make alterations in the open copy)

Did you perhaps run out of temporary disk space when creating the tmp file?
The other explanation is that part of the data stream going to the printer got lost
(check printer cable is not loose) and so the print stream got garbled...
