RE: Printer Support

I added the pipe command and still nothing.  To test if I can print to
PRT03, Im changing my user profile to default to prt03 and then doing a
print screen -- nothing

Also I made it the absolute path, but scs2pdf is in my path statement
and runs okay w/o the absolute path

I don't see anything there about scs or ipds and I have no idea what
either is or how I can check :P
