I have windows 3.1 and povray 3.0 and it won't let me print anything?
 It gives me thie error " EditDispatch no defalt printer installed "
 and when I try to install ont I get the same error ( the printer is 
installed ( a panasonic 1124 ) and it works nicely in windows and DOS and
Windows 95 ( all on the same computer ( Sysyem Commander ).
  It will print the Docs amd help screen but nothing else?

I'm not really up on how PovWin uses printers, but what happens when you
hit "File," "Print Setup?" I goofed up my printer settings once, and had to
redesignate my WinWriter as the default (in the window next to "Name" hit
the down arrow and choose your online printer).
  Hope that helps.

> gri### [at] swbellnetThanks for the advice but I tried printer setup and got the same
error
"Edit Dispatch: there is no defalt printer currently selected"
 now I traced Edit Dispatch as part of the exe that runs Pov-Ray
I'm still able to print the help files from Pov-Ray and the Docs but
not the text I make on screen.
  My printer setup in windows shows my panasonic 1124 as defalt printer
and every other program in windows ( 3.1) will print perfectly.
  What I was wondering is if there was a .ini file I could edit to fix
this problem ( I tried looking in all the .ini files in Pov-Ray but
I didn't find any one or command for the printer setup?
 Do I really have no choice but to dump Pov-Ray and stare over?
