Just started using Showcase yesterday and I wanted to print a document I
just created.  I don't have the luxury of having a printer connected directly
to my SGI (or any other SGI around) and we are using lpr for our printing
(that's what happens when you have a heterogeneous hardware environment).
Does anyone have any suggestions?  I tried this:

     icut doc   (used 'icut' to get the Showcase doc)
     tops doc | lpr

It printed the doc, but the printer sees the background as "grey" instead
of plain/white.  Any ideas?


Thanks!
Amy
