What about printing from Pine using Win3.1 Terminal program?  I can print 
just fine using Terminal on my Pentium at work -- and it is using a 
networked printer at that.  Yet, doing it on my 386 at home on an 
attached printer gives me a problem.  The "y" command works as if it is 
setting the "Printer Echo" command on (under "Settings"), but not turning 
the Echo off to allow the actual printing to start.  And this Terminal 
program does not seem to have any print settings.  Any suggestions?

TIA.
