We have Mathematica 3.0 installed on a central Sun server, used remotely by a number of users under X-windows (Solaris CDE) from different workstations. What is the best way to allow each user to change the default printer? The only way I've been able to find is to add a line to the user's .Xdefaults file: XMathematica*printCommand: lp -d printername Isn't there some way to do this within Mathematica's options or preferences? Changing X resources is a awkward approach. Similarly, is there a way to make the default print destination under File->Print to be "Print to" instead of "File"? Thanks for any help. Michael D.
