SYMPTOMS
========
 
The options to install a new printer and delete a printer are not available
(dimmed) when Works is accessed from the file server, or when the /n switch
is used to start Works from a user directory.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
These options are disabled by design whenever the /n switch is used by
itself. This situation occurs whether the user directory is located on the
local workstation or on the server. This behavior is not dependent on file-
sharing privileges.
 
SOLUTION
========
 
Use the /p switch in addition to the /n switch.
 
For example, if x:\user1 is the user directory, use the following command
to start Works with all printer options enabled:
 
   Works /n x:\user1 /p
