I am having problems with SQL*reportwriter.

I have my printdefs.dat file set up as...

--------------------------------
# 
# $Header: printdef.dat,v 1.1 88/07/13 16:00:15 rendo Exp $ printdef.dat 
# 
JO|joe|default logical printer:\    <------------------- system printer

-----------------------------------

the system printer is called joe so lp -d joe filename should work.
When I try to print from ReportWriter it says the printer is invalid
or it fails.  How am I missing the link to the system printer?  Any
one have any good ideas?

Thanks in advance for you help.  Please email me since I don't get to
this group regularly.
