1. LaTeX
Sable or Ermine (or another system) - why not on a Comlab system?
LaTeX source file or .dvi file?
Has a .dvi file been produced?If not, why not? - missing style file?
What sort of printer is it? i.e. lineprinter (default), PS, PCL, etc…
It's not a local printer is it??!?
Possible outcome: missing fonts on Ermine, which was being used because document required latest release; resolved by upgrading local system.
