Ptinting Errors

Hello.

I've downloaded and installed the pre-compliled binaries for Thot 2.0b
I must say they work and look great!

Though there is one problem, I can't print.

Specificly: After confirming I want to print a view, a dilog box appears
that states the print job was refused by the print spooler lpr.
Futhermore the following information is written to the xterm
I started thot with:

[root@box1 bin]# thot &
lpr: cannot access ķe/ae.ps
sh: -removedir: command not found

I know that thot uses /tmp to create a temporary print file before sending
the file to the print spooler, I've checked the permissions on /tmp and
they are correct and temp has plenty of space for the files. Also I've
placed the line "TMPDIR=/tmp" (minus the quotes, of course) in my .thotrc
file. Still thot cannot print.

I know others have had the same problem, has anyone got an answer?

Thank you for a great program and any help,
nathan hruby.

Oops.. I'm running thot on a 486 with RedHat Linux 4.1 (kernel 2.0.29)
lpr works normally from all other programs.
