1269.0. "Sending Doc which used Printer Tables" by CTOAVX::DESENA () Wed Aug 19 1992 18:16

    When a user send a WPS-PLUS document and had used their own individual
    printer tables, does the recipient need to have access to those printer
    tables to be able to print the document correctly?
    
    If the user does a final format on that document before sending, will
    the recipient be able to print it correctly without access to the
    printer tables?
    
    Thank you in advance for your response.

    When the WPS-PLUS doc contains control blocks with
    "PRINTER TABLE mumble" commands, yes.

    No, but he has to have the same type of printer.

Yes, but it's not limited to WPS-PLUS documents containing PRINTER TABLE
control blocks as suggested in the previous reply.  Many other attributes
of the document (for example, bolding) use information from the printer
table to create the listing file.
