Re: Unexpected End-of-File while processing the printer file

[Anthony Leung-New York <ALeung@RUSSREYN.COM>]

Ian,

I ran into the same problem and was able to fix it by not using the -f flag.
Instead, I used -PRINTER:WP to direct the output to window printer directly.

Hope this will help. By the way, PS respond is not 100% accurate. PS do use
the multiple reporting feature in their HRMS 7.5 product.
