Hi Rick,

I switch computer (from NT to Windows 95) and I still get the same message: 
        "couldn't write file "/tmp/tkq.ps.laraujo": no such file or
directory while executing 
        "open "|groff -t -T$Print(Format) $TkGnats(MsMacroSet) >
$previewfile" w" 
        ("previewer" arm line 6)".

However, this message only occurs when I try to preview the printing (rather
than sending to the printer). When I try to print (send to the print using
Windows 95), I get the following message:

        couldn't execute "groff": no such file or directory while executing
        "open "|groff -t -T$Print(Format) $TkGnats(MsMacroSet) |
$Print(PrintSpooler,$Print(Format))" "w""
            ("printer" arm line 5)
            invoked from within
        "case $Print(Device) previewer {
           set previewfile /tmp/tkq.ps.$TkGnats(LogName)
                if {[string compare $Print(Format) "troff"] == 0} {
                 ..."
            (procedure "perform_print_cmd" line 23)
            invoked from within
        "perform_print_cmd Summary"
            (menu invoke)

I looked inside the archives and I found that someone was having the same
problem. The solution was to make sure the groff command was available on
the path. As you can see below, groff is inside the /usr/bin directory and
therefore on the path.

        :/usr/home/laraujo$ wich groff
        :/usr/home/laraujo$ which groff
        /usr/bin/groff
        :/usr/home/laraujo$

Is there anything I am missing here?

Also, for security reasons, our sysadmin disable the telnet service on this
machine and I can't telnet it. Is there any other things I can try before
beg to the sysadmin to unable this service?

<< telnet localhost 1529 >>
